Ceramic pigments are inorganic salts, i.e. metal compounds. The formation of their color is mainly due to the colorable metal elements in their composition, and they are finally colored after being barbecued at several hundred or more than a thousand degrees.

Since the metal elements that can be colored after high temperature are limited, the types of ceramic colorants are also limited, and their coloring cannot be compared with painting pigments and organic printing pigments.

When mixing colors, the principle of mixing is the same as that of organic printing pigments, but it is different and cannot be applied rigidly. Ceramic pigment according to the conditions of use, there are high temperature and low temperature pigment, high temperature pigment refers to the use of the temperature of 1000 ~ 1500 ℃, its color is stable, mostly for the glaze and billet with low temperature pigment refers to the use of the temperature of 700-850 ℃, its color is stable, for the use of glaze, mostly used for screen printing decal paper and art porcelain painting, the color variety is a little bit more than the high temperature pigment. The pigments with different temperatures can not be matched with each other for color mixing, and the pigments with different metal elements are also subject to certain limitations for matching with each other for color mixing.
