Synthetic inorganic pigments are created through chemical manuffacturing. It used to be that one had to grind or wash clays or minerals, but this new method is much easier. Not only are these kinds of pigments easier to make, but they are usually much purer than organic pigments, much more consisten with their color, and much cheaper. These synthetic inorganic pigments are also very popular because they are the most "lightfast." Colors degrade over time because the reason they have color is that they are absorbing light and that light degrades the molecules around where the light hits the paint. Lightfastness is the ability of a pigment to retain its color even after long exposure to light. Synthetic pigments are also of the most expensive kinds because manufactures will add other chemicals to brighten color and allow the painter to use less pigment.

What do limners use to paint?
Limners in the Colonial times would sometimes used pigments and chalk to make watercolor paints. Just add water! But, to make Tempera paints they combined milk, lime and pigments. They also had oil paints which consisted of linseed oil and pigment. A cobalt compound was sometimes used to speed the drying. I hope this information will help you! :)

Organic and inorganic pigment difference?
In general organic compounds / substances / materials contain carbon atoms bonded with other atoms and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions). Inorganic pigments: they are natural pigments like the Cadmiums, Cobalts, Earth Colors, etc. They're like tiny, opaque rocks and integrate well with mediums (both oils and acrylics) allowing a high pigment load. Organic pigments: they are created in the laboratory and include the Pthalocyanines, Quinacidrones, Dioxazenes, Napthols, etc. Instead of tiny, opaque rocks like the natural colors mentioned above, these pigments resemble tiny, translucent chips of stained glass. They tend to be fussy when mixed with a medium and can't reach the high pigment load enjoyed by organic hues. They also tend to be transparent, which means that they don't have the covering power that the organics do.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic pigments?
Inorganic pigments: they are natural pigments like the Cadmiums,Cobalts,Earth Colors, etc. They're like tiny, opaque rocks and integrate well with mediums (both oils and acrylics) allowing a high pigment load. Organic based paints are also generally opaque which means they have strong covering power. 4-Aminobenzamide(http://www.guidechem.com/reference/dic-10985.html) is one of these products.Organic pigments: they are created in the laboratory and include the Pthalocyanines,Quinacidrones,Dioxazenes,Napthols,etc. Instead of tiny, opaque rocks like the natural colors mentioned above, these pigments resemble tiny, translucent chips of stained glass.

The use of pigment in dyes and paint and materials?
Pigments are used in dyes and paints to provide color. They are finely ground particles that disperse in the medium, adding hue and opacity to the final product. Pigments can be organic or inorganic, with each type having unique properties that affect the color and durability of the dye or paint.
What are the technical names for the orange yellow and red pigments in a leaf?
The technical names for the pigments in a leaf are carotenoids for orange and yellow pigments, and anthocyanins for red pigments. These pigments play a role in absorbing light for photosynthesis and protecting the plant from damage.
