insoluble organic or inorganic substance which gives colour to paint when ground and suspended in vehicle (or medium) such as water or oil Fresco paint is suspended in water and usually made of earth colours such as ochres and other minerals that can withstand the alkaline action of lime
Any material from which a dye, a paint, or the like, may be prepared; particularly, the refined and purified coloring matter ready for mixing with an appropriate vehicle
dry coloring matter (especially an insoluble powder to be mixed with a liquid to produce paint etc) color or dye with a pigment; "pigment a photograph"
Finely ground, natural or synthetic, inorganic or organic, insoluable particles which, when dispersed in a liquid vehicle to make paint, may provide, in addition to color, many of the essential properties of a paint--opacity, hardness, durability, and corrosion resistance
dry coloring matter (especially an insoluble powder to be mixed with a liquid to produce paint etc)
The color substance in inks that absorbs and/or reflects light, generally more light stable than dyes
A solid colorant used in various inks Unlike dye, this material does not dissolve in the inks solvent but remains a particle Because of this, it gives improved coverage over certain substrates and usually has improved fade resistance
The colouring matter in paint A pigment is different from a dye in that a pigment is insoluble in the media in which it is used
A powder-form of color that can be combined with an acrylic base for paint or made into a "pigment dye " It isn't actually a dye, it sits on the surface of the fibers
