The Color of Art Pigment Database

The Color of Art Pigment Database is a comprehensive resource that provides detailed information about various pigments used in art, such as paints and dyes. It includes data on their chemical composition, appearance, lightfastness (how well they resist fading), transparency, and historical usage. This helps artists, collectors, and conservators understand how different pigments behave over time and under different conditions, ensuring informed choices for artwork creation and preservation. Essentially, it's a scientific reference tool that bridges art and chemistry to support quality and longevity in artistic materials.
