Gelcoat comes in two colours - white and neutral (like paint). It gets its final colour from mixing in pigments. You can buy pigments in any basic colour and then mix to get a custom colour. For example, (where's that gelcoat colour chart...) adding white, bright yellow and red to neutral will result in pale orange. Bright yellow with a bit of light red in neutral will give Sunset Orange and so on. If you want black, just add black pigment. You mix the colour in the gelcoat before adding the hardener until you get a reasonable match. The reason I prefer white hulls is that you don't waste time mixing colours (problematic for me since I'm colour blind!)
