hello- I am really excited about finding this site. especially the many posts on lime paint. I have used natural pigments thus far to color my milk paint but am branching out into trying to make myown colors using dried herbs like alkanet and parsley (yep!) and I want to know if anyone has experience coloring their paint with some unusual natural items and can offer me suggestions. at the moment I figure that anything that will color soap will color milk paint as both have to contend with strong alkalinity and leep their color.

thanks-
sarah

Dear Sarah,

There is a the topic inhere "storing pigments" i believe it has some posts about alcaline action of lime that affects pigments - lime will just "eat"
organic pigments. The color will change if not turn into whitish mush.

Find that post and ask more after you read it.
