The present invention aims to provide a
pigment composition that is easy to
sieve, easy to remove
foreign matter, and capable of suppressing the increase of ink
viscosity when used in inks. Specifically, it provides a
pigment composition and inks, toners, coatings, and resin molded articles using the same, the
pigment composition comprising CI
Pigment Yellow 180 and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant is present in a content of 1.5 to 7.0% by
mass in 100% by
mass of the
pigment composition. Additionally, a method for manufacturing a
pigment composition includes at least: a mixing step, wherein CI
Pigment Yellow 180, a surfactant, and water are mixed to obtain a
slurry of the
pigment composition; and a heating step, wherein the
slurry is heated, and the amount of surfactant added is 1.5 to 7.5 parts by
mass relative to 100 parts by mass of CI
Pigment Yellow 180.
