Abstract: A crystalline resin molded article with a non-uniform appearance, or a process for making such an article, comprising a molded blend of a granular crystalline resin base resin and a granular crystalline resin colored concentrate which has contrasting color properties. The granular color concentrate comprising a crystalline resin carrier resin having a melting temperature sufficiently higher than the base resin for non-uniformly dispersing the granular color concentrate into the base resin during molding to produce a non-uniform appearance in said molded article.
