Working with pigments is just as easy as working with tinting pastes.
Pigments simply need to be mixed with water to make a paste before adding to paints or plasters. We recommend to use soft water like purified water. This step-by-step guide will help you get started with tinting pigments.
We use pigments because
- they can be used universally
- they have an unlimited shelf life
- they do not contain any preservatives or other additives
- they are alkaline-resistant
- authentic earth pigments have a certain charm
The reason why we use pigments and not colour pastes is that preservatives or additives need to be used to preserve pastes, which conflicts with our company philosophy.
Powder products must first be mixed with the specified amount of water without any pigment.
This example shows a 1:1 mixing ratio B of lime paint as a mixed tone using Spinel Green and Iron Oxide Black.
