alcohol
drier
oil
pigment
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A powdered substance that is mixed with a liquid in which it is relatively insoluble and used especially to important color to coating materials (such as paints) paint is depend on pigment because pigment fixed different color. So the chief ingredient of paintsis pigments.
