C-MOULD has developed a unique palette of living colours, in terms of its extensive collection of naturally pigmented bacteria, and expertise in handling these. The full palette, however, contains bacteria that are pathogenic and also some that are difficult to culture, and thus its use is restricted to laboratory use.
BioChromes, is collection of living pigments (orange, pink, red/pink, white, yellow and blue) that has been specially selected for ease of growth, reliability of pigment production, and safety, and thus to have applications beyond the laboratory.

BioChromes, a collection of reliable and safe pigmented bacteria. The “paints” look and behave like acrylic paints, but each one is teaming with billions of living bacterial cells
