The Natural earth mineral color pigments for paint are also available individually. Every color you can add a medium to make your own paint
With every loose color you can make around 85 ml paint depending on how thick/thin you want the paint to be.
Every color needs to be prepared with a medium. Each packet makes the equivalent of one medium-sized tube of professional oil paint when mixed with walnut or linseed oil.
Note: not all colours have the same weight. Mineral pigments are natural and do differ in weight and consistency. Therefore our bags are filled with a volume which will be enough to make at least 500 ml to 1 liter of oil paint.
The colors we sell individually are:
*Brilliant Yellow, Emerald Green, Violet Ocher, Mayan Turquoise, Mayan Red, Raw Umber, Raw Sienna and Gold Mica, Silver Mica, Copper mica are new colors not included in the oil paint kit!
Venetian Red (Venetian Red MSDS), Color Index #PR102
After testing many red earth pigments from around the world, we chose this vibrant red from a family- owned quarry in Italy for its luminous, rich red color and mixing quality.
Orange Ochre (Orange Ochre MSDS), Color Index #PY43
This vibrant and warm natural orange pigment comes from a quarry in France.
Yellow Ochre (Yellow Ochre MSDS), Color Index #PY43
This beautiful yellow ochre comes from a quarry in France.
Terre Verte (Terre Verte MSDS), Color Index #PG23
After testing many green earth pigments from around the world, we chose this rich green from a quarry in France. With yellow undertones, it is more translucent when used alone and becomes a rich, opaque green when mixed with white.
Ultramarine Blue (Ultramarine Blue MSDS), Color Index # PB29
This radiant blue pigment is our only color that has been fired to get its vibrant color. It is composed of 90% earthen clay and 10% man-made, non-toxic minerals, and it is heated in an oven to a high temperature. The composition of the mineral is Si4O10(OH)2Mg3. Throughout history, blues in nature were very rare and usually made with precious stones like Lapis Lazuli. These stones are now unsustainably harvested in Afghanistan, so we have found this beautiful, non-toxic and sustainably-made alternative from France.
Burnt Umber (Burnt Umber MSDS), Color Index # PBr7
This rich and beautiful deep brown pigment comes from a quarry in France.
Violet Ochre (Violet Ochre MSDS), Color Index #PR102
This violet earth hails from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is a beautiful earthy reddish, brownish violet. If you would like a more true color spectrum purple, try our Ultramarine Purple.
Black Ochre (Black Ocher MSDS), Color Index #PBK11
This earthy black natural ochre comes from a quarry in France.
Titanium White Rutile (Titanium White MSDS), Color Index #PW6
This is an opaque white pigment with high opacity, perfect for using alone or lightening other colors. Titanium Dioxide, not to be confused with Titanium Metal (Ti), occurs in nature as the well-known mineral, Rutile, found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Rutile is the second most abundant mineral sand and is processed to extract the pure white mineral that we use in our paint kits.
Natural Mica Gold (Natural Mica Gold MSDS), Color Index #PW-20
This is an ethical mica sourced sustainably from Georgia, USA (as opposed to undocumented mica that's mined using child labor).
Very fine, non-tarnishing, brilliant gold that adds a lovely sparkle to paintings. Note: If added to white or opaque paint, it will get buried. Because this pigment is so fine, it tends to float and disperse easily into the air; we recommend wearing a Niosh certified mask while mixing. Even though this particular item only has 2 ounces of weight, it fills the normal 3 ounce pouch in terms of volume.
Natural Mica Silver (Natural Mica Silver MSDS), Color Index #PW-20
This is an ethical mica sourced sustainably from Georgia, USA (as opposed to undocumented mica that's mined using child labor).
Very fine, non-tarnishing, brilliant silver that adds a lovely sparkle to paintings. Note: If added to white or opaque paint, it will get buried. Because this pigment is so fine, it tends to float and disperse easily into the air, and the Silver Mica contains a small percentage of Titanium Dioxide, which can be harmful if inhaled in large quantities; we recommend wearing a Niosh certified mask while mixing.
Natural Mica Copper (Natural Mica Copper MSDS), Color Index #PW-20
This is an ethical mica sourced sustainably from Georgia, USA (as opposed to undocumented mica that's mined using child labor).
Very fine, non-tarnishing, brilliant copper that adds a lovely sparkle to paintings. Note: If added to white or opaque paint, it will get buried. Because this pigment is so fine, it tends to float and disperse easily into the air; we recommend wearing a Niosh certified mask while mixing.
Ultramarine Purple (Ultramarine Purple MSDS), Color Index #PV15
This pigment is a beautiful and unique bright purple, similar to Dioxazine Purple, that no other combination of pigments can create. Our Ultramarine Purple is a 10% man-made, non-toxic pigment affixed to an earthen clay mineral base and heated at high temperatures - from France.
Burnt Sienna (Burnt Sienna MSDS), Color Index #PR102
This rich and beautiful reddish-brown pigment comes from a quarry in France.

Emerald Green (Emerald Green MSDS), Color Index #PG17
This is a rich, opaque, bright green pigment that is UV resistant and has a powerful tinting strength. It is man made from natural elements.
Mayan Red (Mayan Red MSDS), Color Index #PR3
After years of searching for a completely non-toxic and professional-grade primary red, we chose this vibrant, bright red pigment that is archival and humidity-resistant. It makes beautiful, bright pinks when mixed with white and is semi-transparent on its own. It is composed of a natural calcium carbonate base and a man-made, non-toxic pigment.
Note: Our former Mayan Red is no longer available as the Mayan Pigment Co. closed, but this pigment is equally beautiful and more affordable.
French Turquoise (French Turquoise MSDS)
This is a beautiful and true turquoise shade from France. It is composed of 10% man-made pigments (CI #s: PY1 and PB15) and affixed on a natural base (calcium carbonate).
