Paints have been known since ancient times and have developed over time. They are evolving and are no longer used only for aesthetic purposes and can be used for protection. With globalization, there has been considerable growth in this sector, bringing the need for new products and technologies. Due to this evolution, products that harm the environment, the population health and generate harmful waste show up. So, there has been the need to produce raw materials that do not harm the environment and do not jeopardize the well-being of humans. This study conducts a systemic review on pigments for automotive paints and natural dyes extracted from animals, also addressing the impact on the environment.
