Pigments

Ivory Black/ Bone Black: charred animal bones.
Lampblack: is pure carbon and not from animals
Cochineal: a scarlet dye made from ground up female cochineal beetles.



Other commonly vegan pigments: ochre, raw umber, burnt umber, burnt sienna, cadmium yellow, zinc oxide, gamboge, indigo, madder, cobalt blue, naphthol crimson and diozine.

If a pigment reads "Cobalt (Hue)", for instance, that means that it is not real cobalt, and could be made from an unknown ingredient.
