Classification 1 by Color Pigment  
As a pigment composed of organic compounds, there is a lake which is made by adding metal chloride to an insoluble dyestuff or a soluble dyestuff and settling it. Its thermal resistance is inferior to inorganic pigment. But kinds of color are various, its tinctorial power is high and color is clear. It is expensive.
 
 
As an inorganic pigment, it is also called mineral pigment. There are two types in this pigment : one is made of natural mineral as it is or by processing and reducing minerals to powder and the other is made of metal compounds such as zinc, titanium, lead, iron, copper, chrome, and so on. Compared to organic pigment, it is generally more opaque and its density is also lower. However, its light resistance and thermal resistance are good and it does not dissolve in organic solvents. In addition, it is cheap and used a lot.
