ABSTRACT: Pigments from six Nigerian floras namely Morinda lucida, Bixa orellana, Sorghum caudataum, Pterocarpus erinaceous, Tectona grandis and Zingiber officinale were successfully isolated and compounded through formulation into household surface coatings as emulsion paints, gloss paints and lacquers using a paint industry’s procedure. The formulated surface coatings with the natural dyes compared favorably well with the standards in terms of having high opacity on Morest chart, viscosity and high fastness properties of above 4.0 on a Gray scale of 5.0 as interior coatings. The lacquers proved highly effective and acceptable as wood finishes.
