Abstract: Colored particulate blends may be produced by combining thermoplastic polymer particulates that differ from one another in color. Such colored particulate blends may comprise: a first plurality of thermoplastic polymer particulates comprising a first thermoplastic polymer and a first colorant blended with the first thermoplastic polymer in an interior of the thermoplastic polymer particulates, and a second plurality of thermoplastic polymer particulates comprising a second thermoplastic polymer and, optionally, a second colorant blended with the second thermoplastic polymer in an interior of the thermoplastic polymer particulates. The first plurality of thermoplastic polymer particulates has a first color, and the second plurality of thermoplastic polymer particulates has a second color different than the first color, and the second colorant, if present, is different than the first colorant. The colored particulate blends are visually homogenous and appear as a single color different than the first color and the second color.
