Well, I am no expert but some colors are heavier than others and settle faster. You may need to wait a little longer before pouring in mold.
 
Colors settle with pic I hope

In the event it doesn't work again
At the honey stage I figured I should mess around with mixing anymore since the colors were starting ti mix (turn from red to pink). This is my second attempt. Both times the white settled to the bottom of the red.
What am I doing wrong?
 
It's simply a fact of pouring too soon. You need to wait until they start to thicken/gel before you pour. you pour too early, the colors settle due to differences in weight when you made them, but if you wait too long the resin won't pour from the cups..takes practice getting the timing right.
 
I had the same problem with the white settling lower that the other colors I poured. I was trying to make a red, white and blue blank. It came out a lot better the second time when I waited until the colors started to gel before I poured.

I would agree that the white must have been heavier than the other two colors. I was using latex paint for the white colorant.
