Pigment Powders – Versatile Colorants for Paints, Oils, Concrete & More

Pigment Powders are finely milled, high-quality dry colorants made from non-toxic iron oxides, natural earth powders, and mineral pigments. Unlike Real Milk Paint®, these powders contain no binding agent. They are pure pigment, allowing you full creative flexibility when tinting a wide range of materials. Whether you’re coloring oils, waxes, concrete, epoxy, putties, plasters, or custom DIY mediums, these pigments deliver strong tinting strength, excellent opacity, and vibrant color.

Because they are lime-proof and fade-resistant, Pigment Powders perform well in interior and exterior applications. They can be blended to create custom shades, used to enhance texture or depth, or added to coatings where greater hiding power is desired. From furniture touch-ups to artistic finishes, these pigments give you precise control over your project’s color and style.

How To Use Pigment Powders

  1. Always mix a small sample first to confirm color strength, as pigments vary in intensity.
  2. Add pigment gradually to oils, waxes, paints, concrete, plaster, epoxy, or putty. Stir or blend thoroughly until fully dispersed.
  3. Continue adding pigment in small increments until the desired shade, opacity, or depth is reached.
  4. Ensure pigments are fully incorporated to avoid streaks or uneven color in your final application.
  5. Follow Medium-Specific Ratios:
    • Concrete: Use 1–3 lbs (16-48 oz) per 94-lb cement bag for light tones, 7–8 lbs (112-128 oz) for deeper shades.
    • Paints, oils, waxes: Add slowly until your target color is achieved.
  6. Once mixed, apply your tinted product according to its standard directions.

Hints & Tips

  • Add gradually: Pigments are highly concentrated; start with small amounts and increase slowly.
  • Mix thoroughly: Blend well to avoid streaks, clumps, or uneven coloring in your final finish.
  • Combine colors for custom shades: Pigments can be blended to create unique tones and undertones.
  • Consider the medium’s base color: Clear oils will appear different than opaque fillers or white plasters.
  • Use proper tools: A blender, mixer, or dedicated stir stick helps ensure complete dispersion.

  • Pure, High-Quality Colorants: Made from natural minerals and iron oxides with no fillers or binding agents.
  • Exceptional Tinting Strength: Provides rich color saturation and excellent hiding power across a variety of mediums.
