A pigment is simply a dust, a powder obtained from various metals (e.g. magnesium, zinc, titanium) and minerals, used to produce all colors.
The difference between a pigment and a paint is explained by a simple explanation, a paint is a pigment combined with a substance that “clumps” its particles and allows it to adhere to painted surfaces.
