ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I, Navreet Kaur, student of class XII-B of Apeejay School,
Pitampura, am grateful to our principal sir to provide me
with an opportunity and resources for carrying forward
my investigation project on the topic:
Preparation Of Pigments Of Different Colours By Using
Various Chemical Reagents
I am thankful to my chemistry teacher Ms. Bharti Rattan.
Her valuable guidance, support and supervision all
through this project were very helpful.
The progress in science and technology has been a great
help to me for finding the information as well as making
my project effective. Books and journals have always
been mans best friend to provide information and
enhance knowledge.
I am thus, obliged and thankful to above all mentioned,
who have helped me to complete this project and guide
me through in whatever ways they could.

INTRODUCTION
Painting is one of my favorite hobbies. Many a times
while using paints I have wondered how they are made.
So, when I came across this investigatory project work, I
thought of it as the best opportunity to get the answer for
the question about which I have wondered for so long.
This project is based on the study of pigments of various
colours. Pigments are used in many industries for making
colours and paints. Though many pigments are obtained
naturally as well from certain rocks but they can be
synthesized as well with the help of chemicals. In this
project, I intend to explain and showcase the process of
synthesizing pigments by using various chemical
reagents.

THEORETICAL REPORT
WHAT IS A PIGMENT?
A pigment is a finely divided substance which contributes
to the optical and other properties of paints.
Pigments are classified on the basis of the source from
which they are made or extracted.
The most important classification is the one in which
pigments are chemically prepared due to two main
reasons.
First, tons of different pigments can be made chemically
and second, they find their usage in many production
industries. Examples are paints and dye industry, toys
industry, automobile industry etc.
