About Us

The Shepherd Color Company’s roots originate in the 1920s ceramics industry, where we supplied colors for porcelain enamels. By the early 1960s, our product line had expanded to a full range of complex inorganic color pigments (CICPs) for the premium coatings and plastics markets.

Today, we are a leading global producer of CICPs. Our color pigments are an extraordinary class of inorganic pigments that offer stable, long-lasting color for many applications. They have unbeatable weatherability, heat and chemical resistance, are non-warping and easy to disperse. Our highly engineered products include the Arctic® line, that mitigates solar induced heat build-up; Dynamix®, with ‘just stir it in’ technology creating 100% pure color dispersions; and Starlight®, a special effect pigment creating brilliant sparkle and luster.

Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio with sales offices in Belgium, Australia, and China, along with our global distributors, we supply millions of pounds annually of our high-quality pigments and support our customers around the world. Our success is rooted in a core belief: promote people of exemplary character, deliver exceptional quality, and provide differentiated products that stand apart in the market. Shepherd Color, we brighten lives. Learn more about our history here.

OUR PRODUCTS

Arctic® Infrared Reflective Pigments are highly engineered pigments that enhance the value of the materials they are in by mitigating solar-induced heat build-up. These pigments deliver the best lifetime value because their performance can delay or eliminate costly damage caused by sunlight. Less warping, twisting, fading and failure means a potential maintenance savings for building product applications. Products that use Arctic Pigments stay cooler, are more comfortable to the touch and lead to more sustainable environments.

Dynamix® Stir-in Pigments offer pure color dispersions. Create any batch size without grinding, no additives and no filler. Dynamix creates more efficient processes by producing full pigment dispersions in minutes, leading to faster product development and streamlined production.

StarLight® Special Effect Pigments create a sparkle that surpass the brilliance and luster of other effect pigments currently available. One-of-a-kind appearances and stylings can be created with these pigments in conjunction with colored pigments, to impress and enhance every possible application. The MicroMirror Technology, a pigment effect based on a silver coating on a glass substrate, a novel manufacturing process, creates a perfectly flat, uniform glass flake substrate maximizes reflection and provides a solid base for optimum metallic appearance.
