Coloured Earth Pigments - Naturals

Coloured Earth's Natural range is a range of earth pigments which are non-toxic and suitable for colouring or tinting the following:

• Limewash
• Natural paints (e.g. clay paints and chalk paints)
• Plasters, cements and grouts
• Varnishes, waxes, stains and glazes

Coloured Earth Pigments - Synthetics

Synthetic pigments have been chemically manufactured, often to create bright colours unobtainable from natural earth pigments. 
All the Coloured Earth Synthetics are manufactured on mineral bases and are non-toxic. Plus, they can be used in all the same ways as the natural pigments. 

Helpful guide to mixing pigments and using limewash

Limewash, a paint used for thousands of years, is a traditional finish for lime work in homes, both inside and out. To mix and use limewash, follow these steps: mix lime putty and water in a large container; add pigment if desired; stir well; and apply the limewash to the surface using a brush. It will dry in about 24 hours and eventually gain strength and durability. Limewash is a natural, breathable finish that allows walls to absorb moisture and regulate humidity levels.
