Term: Pigment Load

The amount of pigment in a paint compared to the amount of binder and other ingredients. The higher the pigment load the more intense the hue will be. A higher pigment ratio also tends to increase the cost of the paint. Paints with a relatively large amount of pigment can be mixed in smaller quantities without losing tinting strength.
