Question:

Hello, where are pigments from? Are they from animals?

Pleaseeeeee answer A.S.A.P Pleaseeee! Are pigments haram?

Answer:

Most pigments for dyes and paints come from plants or minerals. What exactly do you need? The second part of your question about haram, needs some explanation, too.
Pigments are extracted from plants as well as animals . For more kindly click on the link below = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_... Most of the pigments that we use are either from plants ,from minerals or synthetic in origin . Most of the edible pigments are synthetic or from plants so they are not haram . It is now compulsory to indicate any animal material used in any edible product including tooth pastes by a deep red square on the label . If it is 100% plant product then green squre is shown on the label . So you can judge if it is Haram or not by yourself.
