Pigment

A is a type of resource which appears as a small tetrahedron (three-sided pyramid) dropped by specific enemies. Pigments are required for researching Polychrome Colours for the interior of a Clan Dojo.
Each Polychrome Colour has an associated enemy, and will only drop if a colour is being researched. The frequency of pigment drops and the number of pigments in each drop varies per colour from 1 to 10.
Polychrome Color research can be started (and pigments can be turned in) at a Clan Dojo's Tenno Research Lab, at a separate terminal by the wall on the right. Each project will have a base cost of and 5 to 550 pigments. These costs are increased by the Clan Tier Multiplier.
Once fully funded, the research for a colour takes 36 hours. Only one colour may be researched at a time, regardless of the number of Tenno Labs that are present in the Dojo. Research on one colour may be paused to start research on another, but any pigment in clan member inventories that has not been donated to the research project will be deleted.
==Notes==
===Resource Boosters===
*Resource Boosters and Resource Drop Chance Boosters increase the amount of pigments that drop from enemies.
**Since the drop rate for pigments from bosses is 100%, the drop chance is doubled to 200%, resulting in twice as much of the item being dropped.
**This effectively results in a 2x quantity multiplier when only one of either booster is active, and a 4x quantity multiplier when both are active.
**The drop chance boost from Dark Sectors stacks multiplicatively with the former multipliers, rounded down.
**Likewise, the resource bonuses from Void Fissures stack multiplicatively.
===Team Farming===
*When running missions as a team, the number of pigments will be multiplied by the number of people on the team that have the same pigment being researched in their dojos. 
*Also, similar to life support capsules, only one member of any clan can pick up the pigment from an enemy. The pigment will only drop for the player landing the lethal damage to the enemy in question, so if several people from different clans work together, it is crucial to communicate well who get to kill the enemies.
*As of Update 28.3, every squadmate now gets a single Dojo Pigment drop per enemy killed, rather than 1 player getting 1-4 Pigments.
===Tips===
*Corpses can be d for a chance to drop an additional batch of pigments, and it is possible to dismember corpses to further increase the chances.
**For this purpose, certain guns such as the , and have a useful property of dismembering corpses in pieces when shot, similar to melee.
*’s can also be used to expedite the process of acquiring pigments from non-boss enemies.
*'s with the augment mod can proc additional drops.
**Same goes for 's with the augment mod.

==Farming Locations==
INFO: This is NOT a list of all drop locations or all farming methods, it is a list with the most effective, fastest and easiest way(s) for gathering each individual pigment. IF there is only one or two ways to get this pigments it is mentioned.
	Pigment/Enemy 	Tips & Locations
	01000011 Cyan(Terra Raptor SX) 	
*Several Terra Raptor SX in the Profit-Taker Orb Heist in when capturing the enemy base.
*Can spawn around the Grow Site.
	Anti Violet(Zanuka Hunter) 	
There are currently two ways to obtain this pigment:
*Do Invasions against the Corpus until you get the Zanuka Hunter Assassin Death Mark. Then kill the Zanuka Hunter when he tries to assasinate you. 
*Summon the Zanuka Hunter by using the Zanuka Hunter Beacon purchased from Baro Ki'Teer.
	Argon Purple(Lua Thrax Legatus) 	
	Autumn Brown(Corrupted MOA) 	
	Boiler Red(Phorid) 	
*Since Phorid can only be found when an Invasion takes over the Assassination mission of a Planet and due to the 100% chance that he will drop a pigment, you can easily do 10 Invasion Assassination runs against him. A fast way to kill him is with .
	Charger Blue(Toxic Ancient) 	
*Stay for at least 5-10 minutes to spawn Toxic Ancients.
	Conductor Gold(Terra Embattor MOA) 	
*Spawns in a lot of places but Enrichment Labs is the closest.
	Coolant Blue(Terra Overtaker) 	
*Can spawn around the Enrichment Labs.
	Crawler Blue(Crawler) 	
*Only drops from the normal Crawler, not from any of its Variants (Nauseous Crawler, Toxic Crawler, Electric Crawler and Lobber Crawler).
	Devar Grey(Tusk Mortar Bombard) 	
*Can spawn during Bounties.
	Dust Brown(Corrupted Lancer) 	
	Elysium Blue(The Sergeant) 	
	False Orange((Ravenous) Void Angel) 	
	Glacial Blue(Crewman) 	
	Harmony Green(Thrax Centurion) 	
	Hesperia Brown(Trooper) 	
	Jackal Yellow(Sniper Crewman) 	
	Leaf Red(Stalker) 	
*Kill several bosses to get the Stalker Death Mark and wait for him to come.
	Leech Green(Corrupted Crewman) 	
	Memoriam Purple(Terra Provisor) 	
*Can spawn around the Grow Site.
	Moa Green(Orokin Drone) 	
	Morning Yellow(Leech Osprey) 	
*Fusion MOAs have a chance of deploying a Leech Osprey once its health drops below 50%.
*As of , Leech Ospreys no longer spawn on Larissa, Neptune.
	Mortus Pink(Tusk Flameblade) 	
*Can spawn during Bounties.
	Mutalist Red(Tar-Mutalist MOA) 	
	Nanite Blue(Charger) 	
*Abilities with an area of effect, like with , are very effective. Remember to pick up the pigments in the ability range.
	Neo Pink(Terra Trencher) 	
*Can spawn around the Enrichment Labs.
	Night Blue(Councilor Vay Hek) 	
	Oak Brown(Butcher) 	
	Olympus Blue(Lancer) 	
	Railgun Blue(Railgun MOA) 	
*Disabling but not hacking the first two Ambulas increases the pigment yield, as the Railgun MOA are replaced with Anti MOA once two hacked Ambulas are delivered.
	River Blue(Seeker) 	
*Seekers start spawning at Wave 10.
	Sand Yellow(Scorpion) 	
	Shard Black(Vomvalyst) 	
*Spawns only during night time and always in pairs of two. It is recommended to farm them while fighting against an Eidolon Teralyst/Gantulyst/Hydrolyst because of the Vomvalyst's behavior to defend the Eidolon, resulting in more Vomvalyst spawns.
	Syrtis Orange(Arid Eviscerator) 	
	Tempest Brown(Eclipse Thrax Centurion)	
	Tharsis Brown(Ballista) 	
*Ballistas spawn between 5 and 20 minutes.

	Wisp Grey(Dargyn Pilot) 	
*Can be found occasionally in groups of two during Day Time. They can fly around with their Dargyn or patrol around them on the ground. 
*While doing bounties, Dargyn pilots spawn frequently during a drone escort stage. Plague Star bounties in particular always have a drone escort for the third stage, making them ideal for farming while the event is active.
