Proudly Canadian!
At TerraChrom, colour begins in powder form, with natural, earth-based pigments for artists, painters, muralists, and restoration specialists who demand depth, durability, and authenticity.
Our mineral pigments are sourced from historic quarries across Europe—regions shaped by centuries of geological history and artistic tradition. From ochres and umbers to rare mineral tones, each pigment carries the depth and character that only the earth can create.
We work directly with trusted European quarry and pigment producers who respect both land and legacy. Once selected, every pigment is carefully handled and individually packaged by the TerraChrom team in Canada. No mass industrial processing—just pure mineral colour prepared with intention and precision.
From quarry to studio, TerraChrom connects European mineral heritage with contemporary creators who value authenticity, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
Applications & Use
TerraChrom pigments can be used across a wide range of colouring applications, including concrete, cement, mortar, plaster, lime, clay, and other masonry products. They are also well suited for natural-based paints such as milk paint, flour paint, and lime paint, as well as decorative wall coatings and artistic applications.
An endless variety of colours can be achieved across all types of uses.
Mixing & Colouration Guide
Follow the Colouration Guide to properly mix your pigment—it’s easy.
Combine 1 part pigment with 1 part water (for example, 20 ml pigment with 20 ml water). Mix thoroughly, then stir into your masonry or paint mixture.
Alternatively, pigments can be added directly to oil-based binders such as glycerin, resins, waxes, or varnishes. Do not exceed 10% pigment by volume of your total mixture. For consistent colour results, keep all variables the same from batch to batch, as variations in mix design or curing conditions may affect the final colour.
Our Pigment Ranges
Natural & Mineral Pigments
Pigments obtained from natural earths, ochres, and oxides extracted from quarries. They offer excellent UV resistance, are non-toxic, and yield soft, natural tones with a matte, opaque finish.
Effervescent Earths Pigments
Mineral pigments combined with tartaric acid and calcium carbonate to create an effervescent reaction when mixed with water. This improves dispersion and colouring performance while maintaining excellent UV resistance and soft, natural tones.
Enhanced Pigments
Mineral-based pigments that are synthetically recoloured to achieve brighter, contemporary hues.
SP Super Pigments
Highly concentrated blends of organic and/or inorganic pigments designed for easy dispersion and intense colour. Ideal for concrete and lime products. (Note: dry pigment colour does not represent final colour once dispersed.)
Inorganic Synthetic Pigments
Ferric oxides derived from controlled chemical processes, such as Titanium Dioxide.
