Pigments

PigmentsGrinding your own paint from raw pigment gives you control over consistency, concentration, and working properties that pre mixed paints can't match. Schmincke mills these pigments to exacting fineness, then sieves them to ensure uniform particle size, the foundation for smooth, grindable paint. High lightfastness ratings mean colors you mix today won't shift or fade years down the line, critical for work you intend to last. The 48 color range covers
