colorare terrachrom Black Iron Oxide Mineral Pigment -Pigments for Artistic and Decorative Painting, Concrete, Clay, Lime, Plaster, Masonry and Paint Products (150 ML | 5 OZ)

I bought ready to use paint that I thought was black, but turns out it was gray. And it was non-refundable, so I decided to see if this would get me to the right color. It dries so deep and mixed in very smoothly. Very happy with the finished product.

I use it to fill cracks in slab desk/tabletops with epoxy. Unlike mica, that gives you a "sparkly/swirly" look. This gives you a true black look.

The pigment is very black (not dark grey as many are). I need to adjust the amount of pigment I used (15% of CementAll by weight) as it left my hands black during unmolding. I had to wipe off the excess. Nest time I will try 10% (by weight). But overall, it was great to be able to achieve a very solid black.

This was my first time using this pigment. I mixed it into a low fire, white clay body. I used about 10% pigment to clay ratio. It was a beautiful black before firing. After low firing to a cone 05 it turned a pinkish-purple or mauve color. Interesting but definitely not what I was going for. It reminds me of a cooler pink colored terracotta.

So, I used this powder to color my concrete vessels for candles. I was wanting black, but they all came out grey. They turned out beautiful. But I really wanted black.I used cementall and mixed the powder in water before I added it to the cementall.The application was smooth. I used different amount for the vessels to try and achieve a black. It just wasn't happening, lol.The reason I'm giving this product 5 stars is simply because the product itself is great. I will definitely buy this again. Cement is just tricky to work with as far as coloring at times.
