Organic/Inorganic Pigment List

ORGANIC/INORGANIC PIGMENT LIST: GOLDEN HEAVY BODY ACRYLICS

Inorganic Pigments

Artisans have employed some inorganic pigments for centuries and some for millennia. They are produced from either naturally mined pigments (sienna, umber, ochre) or synthetically manufactured pigments, (iron oxide, carbon black, etc). Inorganic pigments may also be produced using a combination of these two processes. Inorganic Pigments that are both mined and manufactured include the Cadmiums, Cobalts, and Titaniums.

Organic Pigments

The organic pigments are a group of colorants synthetically produced through complex carbon-containing chemistry involving various materials including petroleum, coal tar and natural gas. Many of these pigments have their roots in the chemistry of the 1800s, although widespread production didn"t really begin until the 1930s. Even though they have only been available for several decades, organic pigments have demonstrated remarkable abilities to withstand the impact of light and weather.
