Separate your resin into two cups. In one cup add a few drops of yellow pigment until your desired color is achieved. In the second cup add red and yellow to make an orange color. If you'd like you can add a bit of opaque white to each cup to adjust the colors.
Once you have achieved your desired color use a popsicle stick add the resin to the bezels with the yellow on bottom and the orange on top. Allow to cure about 24 hours. Using a lighter to get rid of any air bubbles about 30 minutes after you pour.
