Coloring products
Crushed coloring products and
possibly burned, in powder,
pigments are introduced in
mortars, concrete, paint, stucco
and other preparations with lime,
cement or gypsum, for coloring in
the mass
There are many natural pigments
or synthetic, whose coloring
power may change
The proposed selection is
composed of pigments most
commonly used for building and
decoration

All pigments have an important covering power thanks to
their extreme thinness. Their coloring powers and their
properties may change.
Earths and Ochres are at their natural stage, mixed with
topsoil and sand. They come from natural oxidation
reactions of various metal elements (ex: iron). The artificial
pigments are coming from industrial production, from
metallic elements such as iron and copper.
Each pigment has its own absorption coefficient of solar
radiation. Light colors absorb less sunlight than dark colors.
In general, it is forbidden to exceed 3% of the pigment
weight in comparison to the weight of lime in the
production of a render.
Similarly, the pigments are subjected to a saturation limit
in the production of lime wash and lime paints. We are
talking about “limit of saturation”. This limit changes
according to the nature of the pigment used and according
to the works. It is essential to respect it.
This is the maximum allowed for artificial pigments
(expressed as a percentage in comparison to the weight of
the lime in powder):
For natural pigments:
■ Limewash (25%)
■ Patina(65%)
Uses

■
Coloration with pigments is used both for paints,
distempers, stucco, tadelakts for renders.
The renders are traditionally colored in the mass by local
sands but an addition of pigments allows obtaining more
various colors. To realize vivid colors, it is necessary to
apply a colored lime wash or a painting on render still
fresh (a fresco) or dry (a secco).
Lime wash and lime paints can also be applied on other
surfaces such as stone or brick.

Advices
■
■
■
The achievement of samples on every kind of support is
strongly advised, before applying a coating, paint or
lime wash because the colors lose their brightness as
they dry. It is possible to get an idea of the final color
accelerating drying with an hair dryer on a test sample.
A first approach of the final color of a coating can be
obtained by mixing dry pigments (ochres and earths
only), lime and sand.
To avoid occasions, it is advisable to prepare at once
the amount necessary to achieve a complete wall
surface.

Effervescent pigments?
Who has not had the experience of a pigment
improperly mixed and smeared on a wall? Effervescent in
a little running water, pigments avoid rocket problems on
sites.
