Lakes are organic pigments made by absorbing a dye onto a substrate such as Alumina hydrate or Barium sulphate. They are dispersible (but not soluble) in both water and oil. Lakes will give a matte colour but are much more vibrant than oxides.

Easy to use/mix

This colour is great. Mixed the red-pink with titanium dioxide and it was perfect for creating the strawberry colour effect for my bubble scoops.
