mixing pigment with resin

I'm noticing fiberglass kayaks with pigments mixed in with resins.  I'm familiar with pigmented gelcoats but always thought that mixing pigments with resin weakens the bond with fiberglass cloth. Does anybody know about the issue pigmenting resin, and does it reflect at all on laminate stiffness or quality?

Try the Kayak building bulletin board. They have a lot of tech types that might help.

I have tinted epoxy resin a few times and used West System. They have max amounts and guidelines in their literature but polyester and epoxy are different...
