About The Earth Pigments Company

Located in Tucson, Arizona, The Earth Pigments Company offers the entire line of Earth, Ocher and Mineral pigments from the world famous quarries of The Société des Ocres de France, located in the Provence region of France. All of our pigments, binders, and mediums are safe, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and free from chromium, cadmium, mercury, tin, arsenic, radium, lead or other hazardous materials.

Our experience selling pigments online extends back 8 years (Nov. 2000), when we opened our first web-based business, Native American Visions. While pigments comprised a small portion of our Native American craft supply offerings, we grew increasingly interested in their use outside of Native American-style arts and crafts. June 2009 marks the third anniversary of our focusing exclusively on pigments with The Earth Pigments Company.

If you are new to working with pigments, be sure to read our About Our Pigments page. There you can learn how we categorize our pigments, and a description of their properties and colors that are available.

Our Recipe Pages offer simple, basic recipes you can use to make paints and other finishes.

Along with our pigments, we offer Binders and Mediums that are called for in our online Recipes and in many of the recipes found in the books from our selection of Books.

Finally, we offer a generous return policy.
