When making paints, people talk about 'Pigmente fein zu mahlen' (grinding pigments finely), 'Pigmente mit einem Bindemittel zu mischen' (mixing pigments with a binding agent), or 'Pigmente gleichmäßig zu verteilen' (distributing pigments evenly).
Für einen gleichmäßigen Farbton müssen die Pigmente gut im Lack verteilt werden.
The pigments must be distributed well in the varnish to achieve an even color.
In biological contexts, 'Pigmente bilden' (to produce pigments), 'Pigmente einlagern' (to store pigments), and 'Pigmente abbauen' (to break down pigments) are typical collocations. In these expressions, cells or the body are often the subject.
