By the way, Kremer pigments (in both New York City and through their home base in Germany), and Guerra Paints and Pigments (in NYC and soon Brooklyn) have vast catalogs of classical pigments, pigment dispersions, and classical materials available through both their online sites and brick &  mortar shops in NYC.   I use Guerra for pigment dispersions in my handmade acrylic paint preparations and Kremer for hard-to-get dry pigments’ like YImMn Blue.   (Kremer actually even sells stuff like Realgar, Orpiment, and Cinnabar, if you would ever consider using such toxic materials.  Some Conservators undoubtedly might have such a need.  Both firms have Material Safety Data Sheets available for their respective products).   An both firms are easily found by doing a Google search.

Cheers,
Mike Rothman

Delicious & divine!!!!
Thanks soooo much for those links 
Yes I use pigment powders too, for egg tempera, watercolours and sometimes to colour my own lost wax recipes, makes it easier to see what you are sculpting when it looks like bronze already. 
Pigments and their history and origins is Wonderful fascinating stuff! My all time favourite research pastime :) I started a small newsletter with monthly pigment stories, but sadly got too busy to continue it for now…
Hmm.. maybe …

I use powdered pigments and gum arabic for my iridescent pigments. I've had them for years so it is economical

Wow. Yes, this looks amazing! I have seen online stores coming out of either China or Japan that sell pigments in powder form in bottles like this. I'm curious to know more about them, like their intended use and how comparable the paint is with professional-grade watercolor or gouache. If anyone uses pigments to make their paint, I would love to hear how you do it.

For those into the history of material culture, I found this fantastic website:

Doesn't this just look like a candy store for artists?  I'd love to experience it:
