Maybe there is a diffent type of fabric with lighter orange color? Maybe I should try yellow fabric..? I want exactly the orange color of the fabric before it touches the epoxy. In the picture you can see both dry fabric and final part after curing... Thanks!

I know that the color become little darker, but I saw a very nice orange carbon part and it makes me crazy how they make it like this (look at the picture).. If you have any idea I'll be happy to know 😄 Thanks!
