Hi SKM!

Fresco pigments are quite the same as pigments used for any other medium, except that not all of the modern day pigments will resist the lime in the plaster. This is why the selected group of lime resistant pigments is called "Fresco Pigments"
Those are earth, oxides and mineral pigments.

Why would it be (fresco) unacceptable to your clients?

One of my students used an analogy:

Fresco Painting is a "platinum" in relation to any other medium.
As well as popular in 1930th US - fresco painting is a logical link between architecture and decoration.

What's up with your people?!
