Different kinds of mineral pigment were used to dye the terra cotta warriors made during the Qin Dynasty. Take red color for example, it is made of cinnabar, minium and ocher. Blue is made from blue malachite. Brown is made from perlimonite.

If possible, you can find some kinds of mineral pigment to dye your replica.
