Which is an example of an inorganic pigment?

• A. Carbon Black
• B. Iron Oxide
• C. Titanium Dioxide
• D. Organic Pigment Red

Answer: (C)

Inorganic pigments are mineral-based colorants that come from non-carbon chemistry and tend to be very stable under light and heat. Titanium Dioxide is a classic example because it’s a mineral white pigment with exceptional opacity and brightness, plus strong stability, making it reliable for long-lasting coverage in PMU. That reliable whiteness and durability are what commonly define an inorganic pigment in practical use. By contrast, organic pigments are carbon-based and can fade more with exposure, which is why the organic red pigment sits in a different category. While other inorganic pigments like carbon black or iron oxide exist and provide different colors, Titanium Dioxide is widely cited as the standard inorganic pigment due to its purity, opacity, and stability.
