Our small packets of pigments are sold by volume (for 80ml/2,7oz), only the larger (500gr /1,1 pound bags) are sold by weight. As each pigment has very different densities and as we use volumes of pigments for our paint recipes, we sell the smaller packages in volumes to align with our recipes.
*Pigments are shipped in bags or containers depending on size and packaging options.
