Abstract:
Naturally occurring minerals have allowed humans to color their world since the beginning of time. In modern times scientists have recreated these minerals in laboratories in factories around the world. Don’t let this long history fool you into thinking this technology is outdated. Recent efforts by the experts at Colors & Effects have brought new life into inorganic pigments. We are pushing chroma into spaces thought impossible to achieve with inorganic pigments alone, all while maintaining the robust properties inorganic pigments provide. Please join me in exploring just a few of these new high chroma inorganic pigments, including a brand new color index, to see what they can do for you in both color and functionality.
