Description
Imagine the possibilities! A little bit goes a long way
These colorants vary in intensity, so are sold by different weights, although the jars are all the same size. They are SUPER intense – so you only need a tiny amount to turn your white grout, adhesive, pourable cement or even acrylic or oil paint into a wonderful rainbow – so you can paint your frame to match your mosaic!
Snow is an invaluable tool in any colourists arsenal. You can add to other colours to tone them down, or use it on its own to make white products super-crisp. Maximum Load is 10%
- Add no more than 10% pigment to grout, as it MAY alter the chemical make-up of the grout and thus weaken it, increasing the tendency for grout to crack or fall out.
- These pigments all have a max. load (listed on the jar) – at which point full colour strength is reached. Using more is costly and will achieve nothing.
NOTE: Mixing less will create a lighter colour.
- Unlimited shelf life
- UV Stable – Does not fade
- Mixes beautifully with other colours from the range to create the colours your mosaic art needs
Colours may render differently depending on your monitor and settings.

What you will need
- Scale to measure in grams
- Metal measuring spoons
- Large container for mixing
- Small container for testing colour (silicone)
- Metal spatula
- Mosaic baggies are handy to pipe grout or adhesive onto your piece – available here
- Dropper or syringe for water
Mixing suggestions
- Shake powdered colorant and cement base in a plastic bag until very well mixed.
- Scoop out a small amount into a small silicone cup, add drops of water and mix to determine colour. (Remember it will always dry lighter)
- If you are satisfied, then transfer the amount you need from the baggie into a mixing bowl and add water slowly until it is peanut butter consistency.
Colour mixing
MIX YOUR DRY CEMENT-BASED PRODUCTS AND COLORANT TOGETHER FIRST BEFORE ADDING WATER
When mixing colorants together to create new colour combinations, mix the colorants dry before adding to your concrete base and liquid.
I recommend you create a small sample board to ensure you get the colour you want.
NOTE: The best colour is achieved by using a white grout or cement-based adhesive. Merlin Mosaica sells white grout , white Cement-based adhesive and Bright White Pourable Cement.
Safety and clean up
- Particulate (N95) mask is recommended.
- Avoid contact with skin and clothes.
- Wash up with water.
