Natural, precious pigments
The outstanding feature of HORADAM Naturals is the use of exclusively natural earth and plant based pigments and extracts. The genuine juice of the indigofera plant or the resin of the dragon's blood tree enables plant-based colours.
The lightfastness of each pigment corresponds to the natural characteristics of the pigments.
100% vegan and naturally formulated
The natural pigments are sometimes slightly coarser in texture, which - unlike gouache - results in a rougher, usually slightly granular surface effect.
The delicate fragrance of individual colour tones is created by the ingredients of natural origin. Due to their use, there may also be slight colour variations in some shades within different batches. This is not a quality defect.
Remark : Please note: Due to the fact that the pigments are natural products, there may be minimal colour variations in each batch.

Some colors characters :
Dragon’s Blood NR31
Red paint with the most poetic name and a romantic legend associated with it. The original resin of the dragon tree (as well as similar bright red resins such as cinnabar) was thought to be appreciated in the ancient times for its supposed medicinal properties. The name of the colour, according to the ancient Roman poet Pliny, comes from a battle between an elephant and a dragon-like creature, in which the blood of the two animals mixed and created this special red.
Dragon’s Blood is definitely cool and muted red-pink, as well as by its very interesting granulation. This is the most highly granulating paint of the entire series, and the pigment literally crumbles onto the surface of the paper into a very fine sand. It looks really spectacular!
Indigofera NB1
A natural indigo pigment made from blackish-blue plants. 100 kg of the dried plant only yields 1.5 – 2 kg of indigo pigment. The oldest evidence of its use comes from excavations, and dates back to 3000 BC. It was also widely used in Roman paintings of the 1st century, in early medieval miniatures, and in paintings from all the eras of European painting. This colour gives you the opportunity to feel like a real ‘old master’.
Indigofera, the only blue colour in the new Naturals line, is very universal: depending on the amount of water with which the colour is diluted, it varies in the range from soft blue, to a fairly dense blue colour. Natural indigo is medium in lightness and brightness, a warm blue shade, and it is lighter than the synthetic indigo colour we are familiar with.
Dyers’ Green NB1, NY3
This colour is similar to Grass Green or Sap Green, and very pleasant, natural, not muted, but not too bright. It is the perfect shade for painting grass and treetops.
Celadonite PG23 | Caucasus Earth PG23 | Green Slate PBk19
These three colours are made from earth pigments, and their behaviour on paper fits the phrase “very transparent micas”. They have a slight tint (greenish in the case of Celadonite and Green Slate, taupe in the case of Caucasian Earth), and they are really very transparent. It seems like you are looking through old glass.
Stil de Grain NY13
The most unusual and natural colour. The composition is not disclosed, and the pigment is produced according to a special secret recipe by only one company, which has been making this pigment since 1873. Stil de Grain is a very cool mustard colour, like how moss appears when lit by the sun. This is an incredible and very beautiful colour in its pure form, a cross between mustard and very cool yellow, with a green undertone – ideal for mosses, as well as frost-covered grass in bright sun.
Yellow Ochre PR102
Yellow Ochre is one of the most successful and popular colours in the main line of Schmincke . It is a standard, warm, yellow-orange colour, intense and bright, a shade of linden honey. At the same time, the colour looks a little less saturated, and a little more orange than the usual Yellow Ochre, and is slightly granulating. It is curious that the original natural pigment for this paint was natural iron oxide – which is, essentially, rust.
Red Bolus PR102
In shade, this colour is very similar to the usual Burnt Sienna – the same dim orange with a red-brown bias. On paper it granulates quite strongly.
Lalvarit Violet N/A
This is a rare pigment created from andesite rock, which is mined from lava flows. One of the most interesting shades of the new Naturals line: warm and muted purple, fading into grey. Lalvarit Violet is an ideal colour for painting shadows; it is in the range between purple, grey, beige, and brown. Imagine the colour of coffee with milk, to which you added a little bit of blackberry jam – and you get a colour similar to Lalvarit Violet.
Graphite Black PBk10
A very dark and dense colour, and the most opaque colour of the entire line. The pigment is natural ground graphite, and interestingly, it lies on the paper without the specific shine that graphite usually gives on the surface.
