Description

An insoluble, dry solid that is pulverized to a fine powder then mixed with a binder to form a paint, ink or crayon.

Examples of inorganic pigments:

- earth colors (ocher, sienna, umber, green earth);

- metallic oxide (ferric oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc white; viridian);

- metallic carbonates (lead white, calcite, malachite);

- metallic chromates (lead chromate; barium chromate;

- carbon black (bone black, lampblack, graphite)

Examples of some organic pigments are:

- animal (melanin, cochineal, Indian yellow)

- vegetable (madder, indigo, gamboge)

- synthetic (verdigris, phthalocyanine, lakes, para red)
