Hello,
I'm planning to upgrade my current custom loop (see image), I want to replace my resevoir and redo the hardtubing (petg).

Therefore I was thinking to update my color scheme ( currently blue led, green liquid) to green led and purple coolant. However up until now I haven't found any premixtures with a purple colour in my country (I live in Holland). Therefore I was thinking of using pastel and mixing my own color, however online I read that there are quite a few problems with pastel regarding.

So I hope someone can give me some information about using it and perhaps recommend me some product.

Thanks a lot!

Firstly that build looks amazing at the moment.

secondly I have been looking at going to pastel fluids and from what I have seen mayhem said that their fluid is ok with their dyes, but doesn't react well with ThermalTake radiators and make sure that you throughly prep your system before use.
