Ingredients

plants, molluscs, beetles, bone, ivory, fungi, microorganisms

Preparation Steps

Organic pigments are produced primarily by living organisms occurring in the environment, such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. They are typically not chemically changed during processing. Specific sources include madder and indigo plants, molluscs for purple hues, and cochineal beetles for reds. Bone and ivory are used for black and white pigments (p. 79).

Bone and ivory are used for black and white pigments (p. 79).

Evidence

"Natural pigments come from plants such as madder and indigo, as well as from animals like molluscs (for purple pigments), beetles (for cochineal), and bone and ivory (for black and white pigments)."

Remarks

Organic pigments are sensitive to light and environmental fluctuations. The usage of mineral pigments can sometimes prevent these organic dyes from fading when exposed to light (p. 78).
