Pigments are powdered colorants that do not dissolve in water, oil, or other solvents. Since they cannot stick to surfaces alone, they are mixed with various binders to make paints like watercolors, acrylics, oil paints, and industrial coatings. Historically, pigments came from natural sources: earth pigments used in ancient cave paintings, mineral pigments used in Japanese paintings, and organic pigments from plants and insects. With modern technology, synthetic pigments have been developed, resulting in a wider range of colors. Today, synthetic pigments dominate the market. At pigiment.live, we offer about 4,500 colors, from traditional to cutting-edge pigments.
