American Clay standard Forté White color pigments are pre-measured color packs that are ready to be added to one bag of Forté White plaster to achieve an "Illumina Color Series" color. Each individual color pack will vary in weight depending on how much pigment is used to create that specific color. American Clay color pigment packs contain naturally occurring mineral pigments, which means they are resistant to UV light and fading.

 

Our pigments are made in batches and every pack will have a batch number printed on the label. We do recommend using color pigment packs from the same batch. If this is not an option, simply mix clay plaster that has been tinted with two different batches of pigment in order to unify the color for consistency.

 

To achieve colors in the "Illumina Color Series": Mix your selected standard Forté White color pack into one bag of Forté White plaster.

• Example: 1 color pack of Seadrift mixed into 1 bag of Forté White plaster will achieve Seadrift.

Colors on mobile devices and computer monitors are not 100% accurate. Please see our Samples page to purchase a sample of your desired color. We are using natural pigments and materials that can vary in strength and hue from batch to batch. Although color variations are closely monitored it is a good idea to buy all pigment and plaster for a project from the same lot. If that is not possible, be sure to batch your plaster and pigment materials together to decrease these variations. With this in mind, we encourage your or your applicator to make sample boards or on-site sample walls in order for to you to approve final finish and color.
