The present invention provides a pigment dispersant: that is capable of remarkably ameliorating fluidity of a liquid product, such as an ink or a paint, which contains particles of a pigment, such as a black azo pigment, in a dispersed state; that can suppress aggregation of pigment particles; that prevents occurrence of foreign substances; and that is capable of producing a colored article excellent in optical density. Provided is a pigment dispersant being a compound represented by the following formula (1). n nwherein R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a group obtained by eliminating one hydrogen atom from an amino group of an amine compound containing a basic nitrogen atom, and R 3 and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a hydroxy group. |
