Traditional methods for pigment extraction still produce waste, while our methods of dehydration provide no waste and still high chroma colors.
The use of a gravity fed spray system with compressed air to create a non toxic system that is free of toxic aerosols.
What we found to be the biggest opportunity was to use the abundance of food waste as the source for natural raw pigment .
A successful creation of paint made from food waste. The innovation lies within the atomization of the paint and the pieces used to make it successful. All working together to create a biodegradable paint that gives a new life to materials deemed at the end of their lifecycle.
The next opportunity we found was the color shift taking place. In a raw pigment like black bean the color could potentially shift to three colors.
All colors classified by it's own color system based off the location of the waste and the color produced on the given substrate.
We measured the color on the brick and the color shift that occurred on the cement and used the readings from the spectrometer and made our 313 palette.
