Powder Pigments for Paint: Simplicity, Tradition, and Real Performance

There’s something quietly beautiful about matte, honest color—especially when it comes from natural materials. That’s the spirit behind our powder pigments for paint: a product that respects tradition, simplifies application, and offers a genuine alternative to synthetic, high-gloss coatings.

But behind the simplicity, there’s real technique.

More Than Just Pigment Powder

What we offer is not just color in a bag.
Each batch of our powder pigments for paint is a carefully balanced blend of pre-cooked ingredients, each processed separately at high temperatures. This cooking process is essential: it helps stabilize the components, improve UV resistance, and ensure proper adhesion once the powder is mixed with water.

Many commercial pigments on the market—especially cheap imports—skip this step. The result? Colors that fade quickly, bind poorly to surfaces, and sometimes react unpredictably to sunlight.

Our pigments are different. Pre-treated, mineral-based, and made to last.

How It Works

You simply mix the powder with water. The result is a matte, velvety finish—subtle, natural, and timeless. It doesn’t shine or shout. It just sits quietly on the surface, enhancing the texture of the material beneath it.

On wooden surfaces, you also have the option to add linseed oil. This oil is easy to find in most hardware or DIY stores. Just one important point:

Make sure it’s pre-cooked (sometimes called “boiled” linseed oil). Raw oil won’t dry properly and could lead to tacky or uneven finishes.

Should You Add Oil?

Adding a small amount of pre-cooked linseed oil to the water-pigment mix can increase durability in very humid or exposed environments. However, it’s not mandatory. The paint works perfectly well without it in most conditions.

And despite what many assume, the oil doesn’t make the finish shiny. The final result still looks matte and natural.

Want a Slight Sheen?

Sorry, the paint will remain matte; you would need to switch to synthetic paints for a "glossy" finish.

The best is to include linseed oil to the mix and less water (max 10% linseed oil). You will obtein a second protective effect and a little Velvety texture effect.

All linseed oil uses are optional, and only recommended for wooden surfaces.

What About Other Materials?

For stone, concrete, or other porous mineral surfaces, do not use linseed oil—neither in the mix nor after. It doesn’t help, and can even stain or alter the texture.
The powder pigments on their own, mixed with water, will adhere perfectly and age beautifully over time on these materials.

A Return to Essentials

Our powder pigments for paint are meant for those who want real materials, honest finishes, and low-impact choices. No artificial binders. No unnecessary additives. Just good ingredients, prepared the right way.

In a world of shiny plastics and synthetic paints, it’s a quiet but meaningful way to do things differently.
