Pigments are insoluble colorants that are usually available in the powder form. They are insoluble in water and in most solvents. They are derived from minerals and can also be produced synthetically. Pigments are often comprehended as value addition to various products such as textiles, food products, cosmetics, plastics, paints, and inks. Along with offering vast options in terms of color, pigments offer better color retention in comparison with dyes.
