As an avid coffee cup warmer user (for coffee) I doubt that it will keep the pyrex cup hot enough. I think an electric burner like this one would do a better job, but haven't tried it. $19.98 Elite Single Disc Electric Burner Walmart.com: Elite Single Disc Electric Burner: Appliances

I did some experiments last night. On a 5.25" aluminum 4 cavity senko mold, the only time I could get a dent was when I let the pour cool longer than 3 minutes before de-molding.

I can't get a real good look at the color from Yamamoto's catalog, and haven't seen them in person, but it looks a lot like a color I mixed the other day using pearl blue powder and marine blue colorant. I didn't use any glitter though.

I tried a white pearl with blue colorant and it came out quite a bit lighter, kinda silverish as compared to using blue colorant and blue pearl.
