	A '''pigment''' is generally understood as a colored particle that is usually ground down to powder form to help distribute evenly and easily in a variety of uses. Pigments, unlike [[dye]]s, are insoluble in a liquid vehicle or binder. Colored or colorless pigment particles can be dyed to create a '''pigment lake''', in which the resulting color is the combination of pigment and dye. Pigments can be used to make [[ink]]s, [[paint]], [[food]], [[textile]]s and [[~~cosmetics~~]].

			A '''pigment''' is generally understood as a colored particle that is usually ground down to powder form to help distribute evenly the pigment easily in a variety of uses. Pigments, unlike [[dye]]s, are insoluble in a liquid vehicle or binder. Colored or colorless pigment particles can be dyed to create a '''pigment lake''', in which the resulting color is the combination of pigment and dye. Pigments can be used to make [[ink]]s, [[paint]], [[food]], [[textile]]s and [[cosmetics]].
	'''Pigment''' is what provides the colour in [[dye]]s- it's what gets into or onto the material to change its colour. Pigments that are used to colour [[textile]]s or [[food]] are called [[dyestuffs]], pigments used for [[writing]] are [[ink]]s, and pigments used for [[painting]] are [[paint]]s or just pigments.

			=Period pigments=
	Dyestuffs tend to be solids that are soaked in water to extract them, and then [[fibre]]s are added which soak up the water soluble dye. A [[mordant]] is added as a setting agent to make the [[dye]] stick to the fibre.
			'''NOTE: Pigments in powder form are more easily inhaled and thus are dangerous to handle. Many pigments listed here are extremely toxic and poisonous if ingested, inhaled or come in contact with skin. Research each material carefully before EVEN ATTEMPTING to handle the pigment in dry or liquid form.'''

			==Blacks==
	Paints tend to require more opacity than dyes. The same ingredient as a dyestuff may be used, but fine sawdust or other filler agents (e.g. rag scrapings) are added to give the dye bulk. This pigment is intended to mostly sit on the surface of the object, not soak through it. Some pigments are available for use as paints that cannot be used for dyestuffs (e.g. ground lapis lazuli). These pigments do not have water soluble colour, they only need to be ground fine enough to be able to be picked up with a paintbrush.
			*'''black (from plant material)''' - derived from charred wood, twigs, pits, nut shells, etc.
			*'''ivory/bone black''' - derived from charred animal bone and/or ivory
			*'''lamp black''' - derived from the soot of burning linseed oil

			==Blues==
			*'''azurite''' - a blue mineral. An acceptable modern equivalent would be '''cobalt blue.'''
			*'''ultramarine''' - lapis lazuli, a blue rock. An acceptable modern equivalent would be '''(artificial) ultramarine blue'''.

			==Greens==
			*'''malachite'''
			*'''terre-verte''' - a green mineral. The English name for this pigment is '''green earth'''.
			*'''verdigris'''

			==Reds==
			*'''cinabrese''' - a red rock, a red ochre. An acceptable modern equivalent would be '''red iron oxide'''.
			*'''dragonsblood''' - derived from the gum of an unspecified Asian tree.
