pigments!
Painting related Pigments is a material that creates a certain color mainly depending on what light is reflecting on it, it pretty much absorbs the color. This is used for coloring different material such as paint, ink, plastic, fabric, cosmetics, food and other materials. It is a material that colors plants or animal cells. In order for the pigment to show up it must be dark enough, so it will show up on the surface you’re putting it on. Pigments are dry colourants which are usually grounded into a fine powder and used in manufacturing or any kind of art display. There are different kinds of pigment, another pigment which is not permanent is called Fugitive, this pigment is not very strong because over time it will fade or if it’s exposed to sun light it will fade, or in some cases it could even blacken, this type of pigment would not usually be used in manufacturing or in art displays. Since pigments get their colors from source light, and sunlight is considered white light. Artificial light in some parts have great peaks in parts of their spectrums and deep valleys. Through this you will then see different colors in different pigments.
