Renascentia allows war/ritual paints. Cool, huh? IT still has to be legit, though! I'm making a little info stockpile for people to make use of. Currently WIP.
Red
Red clays containing oxides of iron, roots, berries, barks and beets. The Lachnanthes plant commonly known as redroot native to eastern North America Redroot and also used as red war paint. When the root is crushed it "bleeds" a reddish dye. Bloodroot plants are also used to produce red war paint, as are Cochineal beetles. Blood can be used for red, but it fades to brown quickly.
White
White kaolin clays, limestone, ground gypsum, eggshells or sea shells
Black
To create black paint coal or charcoal, mixed with spit or animal fat, was commonly used as well as wild grapes and the bark and ashes from various trees and shrubs including Devil’s Club
Yellow
A yellow pigment which was made from flowers, berries, barks, plants or moss. A yellow substance found in some internal organs of the buffalo was also used to produce the yellow paint
Blue
Blue paint was obtained from oxides, powdered azurite and lapis, sun flower seeds, duck manure, clays, berries and flowers, particularly the Woad plant.
Green
Green paint was made from grass, flowers, berries, moss or algae and was pretty easy to come by.
Pink
Pink war paint was made from the juice of the Virginia Creeper, a woody vine, native to eastern and central North America
Orange/Yellow
The bixa, also known as annatto is a bushy shrub or small tree. Native Americans made a paste from annatto for a bright orangey-yellow war paint
Purple
Purple coneflowers, Blueberries and hibiscus all produced a purple pigment used as paint
To make the color stronger and longer-lasting, animal fat would be smeared on the site of application before rubbing on the pigment.
