The real milk paint company sells powdered pigments for their base milk paint product. Will these pigments mix with tung oil, shellac  or poly urethane ?
 
Most of their colors appear to be natural earth pigments they should mix with any binder, the ones that are not are probably laked and should be all right, but they would contain dye and I am not sure. Remember dye fades. I have mixed earth pigments with shellac, oil, and varnish, but not their brand.
