Abstract
Since the publications concerning twentieth century synthetic inorganic and organic artists’ pigments in 2011 and 2014 respectively, new, twenty-first century inorganic pigments have been discovered, patented and brought onto the market. In this article, rutile tin zinc oxide (PY 216 and PO 82), niobium tin pyrochlore (PY 227), YInMn blue (PB 86) and Vantablack are introduced. Their history, development, manufacture, properties, applications and use as artists´ pigments will be discussed. These pigments possess excellent properties and could enter the artists´ palette in the future.
