A pigmented finish is a protective coating which uses pigments in a resin binder. The leather shows an uniform, solid and brighter colour and can be further processed with an imaginative embossing. The popular finishes nowadays are the anilines. This finish is applied in very thin layers allowing the grain (incl. the natural range markings) to stay visible, while retaining the beautiful soft touch of naked leather. Semi-anilines are finishes containing just a small amount of pigment producing a leather that falls between the above two.
