Chinese Painting Pigments: High-Quality Colors for Artists

Selecting optimal art pigments requires a systematic evaluation of technical specifications, application needs, and aesthetic goals, and Hangzhou Poezie Stationery Co. Ltd. provides professional guidance through its expertise as a leading pigment manufacturer. Begin by defining the painting medium: watercolor pigments should have high dispersibility (Poezie's watercolor pigments feature a dispersion index >95%), while oil pigments require excellent oil absorption (40-60 g/100g for Poezie's oil-based formulations). Evaluate color performance metrics: hue accuracy (measured by ΔE <1.5), saturation (achieved through 99% pure pigment concentrations), and lightfastness (Poezie's pigments score 7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale). For traditional Chinese painting, prioritize natural mineral pigments like those in Poezie's Traditional Watercolor Series, which contain no synthetic binders and maintain cultural authenticity. Contemporary artists may prefer specialty pigments, such as pearlescent (with 2-5μm mica platelets) or chameleon pigments (angle-dependent color shift of 30-40nm), available in Poezie's innovative collections. Consider environmental factors: all Poezie pigments are certified non-toxic (complying with ASTM D-4236 and EN71-3) and use eco-friendly binders. For custom projects, leverage Poezie's R&D capabilities to create pigments with specific properties, such as heat resistance (up to 200°C) or fluorescence. Request pigment samples (Poezie provides 5g trial packs) to test on target substrates like rice paper, canvas, or wood.
