Ceramic pigments are inorganic colorants that withstand the high temperatures of firing. They are used to color glazes, engobes and bodies of floor and wall tiles.
The final color of a floor or wall tile depends on the pigment, the amount used, the glaze composition and the firing cycle. That is why the same color reference can behave differently in different processes.
In ceramic production, color has to repeat between batches so that tiles in the same room match. That is why each pigment is tested in the laboratory with the customer’s glaze and firing cycle before it reaches the line.
No. Only pigments developed for ceramics withstand kiln temperatures and keep their color after firing.
Yes. Starting from a sample or a reference, the color is reproduced in the laboratory by combining pigments and adjusting the amounts.
