Epoxy pigments

I came across some epoxy pigments at:

I remember discussions about using talc to make epoxy white, but this was a thickener and not to be used for wet-out. Are these kinds of pigments/colorants useable for wet-out? I thought it would be nice to do the hull bottom in white so that scratches are less visible. And unlike paint, which can be scratched through, scratches into the layup would still appear white. I also was thinking about making the interior of the kayak white so that gear is easier to see.
