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)
