Paint is on almost every wall around us—have you ever thought about what goes into its creation? Humans have been using pigments and paints practically forever, and there is a lot more to it than shade and hue. Join us with paint chemist, Kellen Kartub, Ph.D as she gives us all the colorful details about how paint pigments work, what we use them for, and how the chemistry has changed over time.
