| definition | Pigments that absorb into the paper before the water evaporates, making them difficult to lift and prone to leaving a permanent stain. Staining is a property of the pigment itself, not an indicator of paint quality. Pthalo colors are common examples; viridian is a non-staining, sedimentary alternative. |
