creative person even the widest range paints will not please - there is sure to be a shade that the manufacturer has overlooked, a kind of "delicate cream with an orange tint." Only do-it-yourself paint tinting can save the situation!

Colors and colors are the same?

Perhaps you need to start with the meaning of the word "color", because in different areas This word has different meanings. For example, in spoken language color is understood as color, color, shade, while painting professionals use this term to refer to a paint composition ready for use. In our case, speaking of getting desired shade with our own hands, we will become professionals for the time of reading the article, and will express ourselves accordingly!

With the advent of technology, such a thing as computer tinting of paints arose. A person only chooses from a catalog desired color, the computer itself will calculate the proportions to obtain the desired color and issue ready mix. The advantage of this method is clear - even if there is not enough paint of the desired shade, we can always repeat the mixing process, which is almost impossible to do with manual mixing of paints.

However, choosing the right color in hardware store where such a service is offered, it is necessary to take into account some points that may result in significant disadvantage method and cause your just dissatisfaction. First, you need to consider what kind of lighting is in the room where you choose the shade. In different lighting, the same marker will give completely different shades. AT artificial lighting many yellow rays, and against its background daylight will appear blue. You can imagine how easy it is to confuse our perception of colors.

Under artificial lighting, cool colors (blues, purples, greens) become darker, while warm reds and oranges lighten.

Electric lighting changes the yellow-blue palette to yellow or greenish, in orange-violet paint, violet may disappear altogether, and red will begin to give off slightly purple. Highly bright light able to visually discolor shades, the same can happen at dusk - blue tones will become lighter, while the red ones will darken. The farther the distance, the lighter the surface will appear, except that the blue and purple will darken.

The second nuance is small plot shade looks different than large area, especially in vertical plane. It is difficult to take into account all these points without experiments on the spot. In addition, even computer catalogs are not always able to repeat one or another shade we need, for example, if we decide to “dance” from a certain detail or piece of furniture in interior design.

Do-it-yourself paint tinting - where to start?

As already mentioned above, the disadvantage of manual tinting of paints is that you are unlikely to succeed in repeating the desired shade a second time. Therefore, before tinting, carry out a careful calculation in order to find out the exact amount of paint. Each paint has its own consumption, fortunately, manufacturers must indicate this data on the packaging without fail. Our task is to find out the staining area and multiply the resulting figure by average consumption paints. Then we add another 10% to the obtained value - in case we exceed the average consumption. It's better to have spare paint left than to have to guess with a hint.

It is important to do tinting in one container. Even if you accurately calculated the amount of color, there is a possibility that in two different containers you will get different shade. Therefore, do not take risks, and if the volume is very large, and you do not have the necessary vessel, it is better to contact specialists.

How to mix paint colors - choosing a base and color

So, for tinting, you will need a white base and the tint itself - a dye capable of different proportions with paint to give a different shade. It is important that the manufacturer of both components is the same - each has its own secrets of production, and the technologies are different. But you don’t even need to reach fanaticism - if you like the dye of a certain company, it’s not necessary to change the one you bought earlier white paint.

If the inscription on the container with a white base says that it is paint, then it should be used exclusively for the ceiling, if the paint is intended for walls, only vertical surfaces need to be painted with it. And it's not about the tricks of marketers - manufacturers are counting on different surfaces parameters such as wear resistance, soiling, elasticity. Will they play the same meaning on the ceiling as on the walls, which will be dirty ten times a day by indefatigable children or animals?

Usually, along with the color scheme comes a small catalog of possible shades with detailed instructions- how much dye to add to obtain the desired shade. To be sure of the result, use a mixer or drill at low speed with a special nozzle to mix the components. With due diligence desired result can give and manual mixing, but this is an additional risk.

If you're looking to create the right hue for your living space, consider the color guidelines. It is possible that at first you will like bright colors and shades, but they will quickly tire you out and start to annoy you. For try to choose non-intense, calm light colors of yellow, green, orange. You can’t get hung up on one shade - so that the room is not boring, different walls can be decorated with different colors.

Tinting in practice - slowly and with arrangement!

For tinting, you will need a mixer (drill with a nozzle), a small container for a sampler (100-200 ml) and a container for a large volume, a white base and color.

How to mix paint colors - step by step

Step 1: Making a probe

Before mixing paint colors for the main volume, we will experiment with a small amount of material - we will make a probe. Otherwise, there is a chance to spoil the entire volume! Pour 100 ml of paint into a small container and add a few drops of pigment. In such cases, it is convenient to use jars with a narrow neck, but if the color is packaged in uncomfortable dishes, use a regular syringe - draw the pigment into it and gently squeeze it out to make drops. To start, add 2-3 drops, mix thoroughly, and bring to the desired shade, dripping one drop into the base. When the desired shade is obtained, fix the number of drops on paper.

You can’t rush in this matter - you will compensate for the loss of time excellent result. If you are not satisfied with some parameters in the main solution, you can either slightly dilute the paint by adding a white base, or increase the amount of dye by a few drops.


Tinting of the paint is carried out in the absence of the required shade in the standard range of colors, in order to obtain several shades of the same color, in cases where the paint of the previously selected color is not available in stores and the selection is similar to it, as well as when the color of the paint dried on the painted surface does not match the expected result.

Color composition

By composition, colors are divided into organic and inorganic. The pigment of natural origin has more bright shade than artificial, but more prone to fading in the sun and fading faster.

It is better to use such colors indoors. Natural dyes include chromium oxide, iron minium, soot, umber, ocher.

Usually, manufacturers attach a tinting table of shades to the dyes at different concentrations of the pigment in the paint. As a rule, the proportions given are 1:1, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20 and 1:40. Externally, the paint tinting table looks as shown in the photo in our gallery. Such photos are easy to find on the web on the appropriate request.

Color release form

Colors are available in the form of powder, paste or finished paint. Powder color is the most inexpensive, but the downside is that it is difficult to achieve a homogeneous composition when working with it. It is required to mix the dye very carefully, preferably with a mixer.


Much easier to use ready-made tinting the paint than mixing the composition with your own hands, since you can make a mistake in the proportions and get non-uniformly colored areas of the surface. The lack of ready-made tinted paints is a rather poor color scheme.

It is very convenient to use tinting paste, it can be added in small portions until the desired color saturation. It is not recommended to add paste in proportion to paint more than 20%, as this will affect physical properties dye.

Colors are supplied in a variety of containers - jars, bottles, tubes, vials, bags (for powder colors). The choice of packaging does not affect the quality of the product.

Sometimes measuring cups are supplied in the kit, which makes the work more convenient in case of tinting paint at home. For the convenience of dosing liquid dye, bottles should also be preferred, especially with measured marks applied to them.


Computer color selection

There are RAL and NSC scales used to select the desired shade. The RAL scale contains 210 colors and shades, the NSC contains 1950. To obtain the desired color, you need to compare the desired shade with one of the scales until the most similar one is selected. Kohler is added to plasters, alkyd and nitro enamels, water-based paints.

When using color scales, computer mixing is used, where the dosage of the necessary pigments is carried out with an accuracy of tenths of a gram.

Kneading by hand

It may be necessary to manually tint the paint in cases where the final result of the work does not look as expected. The fact is that the paint changes its color under different lighting conditions. appearance, on a large plane looks different than on the sample and fades when dried.

Tinting is done like this:

In clean glass or plastic bottle 100 ml of paint is measured. Then 3-5 drops of color are added to it, the bottle is tightly closed and the mixture is thoroughly mixed by shaking.

If the color saturation is insufficient, the process is repeated until the desired shade is obtained. The experiment can be continued by adding other colors. Be sure to keep a record of what and how much was added.

Apply the resulting paint on a small board, or on a piece of the surface to be painted. Wait complete drying and evaluate the results. If the option came up, using the notes, calculate the proportions for larger capacity, tint the paint and get to work.

When tinting, it is best to use a mixer, this will make the process faster and the result better. The simplest option looks like a fitting electric drill. When mixing, it is not recommended to use plastic containers, since the mixer, accidentally catching the wall of the bucket, can split it.

Knead at not very high speeds, avoiding splashing of the mixture, laying old newspapers under the container and around it.

Mix thoroughly, since the final result will depend on this - the presence or absence of lumps of color in the mixture, as well as the uniformity of the resulting dye.

Photo of the paint tinting process

Kohler is a concentrated dye that desired proportion added to the LCM. Next, the paint is mixed until a uniform shade is obtained. By increasing or decreasing the dye integrated into the composition of the paintwork materials, you can adjust the intensity of the resulting shade.

However, instructions for use paintwork materials stipulates norms for the maximum content of the dye. Ignoring these restrictions can lead to a decrease in the strength properties of the finished coating. So, let's try to decide on the types of colors, with the features of their composition and use.

Color types

Important: When choosing colors for paint on water based, you need to remember that the paintwork in the bank looks brighter and richer than when dried.

The range of pigmenting additives on the market is represented by tinting pastes and universal colorants. There are no binding components in the composition of colorants. Instead, dispersant resins are used to increase the solubility and at the same time reduce the viscosity of the pastes.

Basic white coatings are mixed with colors in the following proportions:

  • no more than 20% is added to water-soluble paints;
  • in oil paints - 1.5-2%;
  • in other compositions - no more than 5%.

According to GOST for colors, either organic or inorganic pigments are used:

  • The advantage of organic pigment fillers is a bright saturated color. Unfortunately, compositions based on these fillers are characterized by a low degree of light fastness and low resistance to negative impact alkali released in small quantities from mineral plasters.
  • Pigments of the inorganic type are more lightfast, but at the same time they are characterized by a limited range of color performances.

Classification by purpose

In the photo - a universal color for acrylic paint

In accordance with the purpose, means for coloring paintwork materials are divided into the following categories:

  • pigment pastes and liquid colors - used for cloning primers, impregnations and varnishes for wood and lumber processing;
  • specialized pigment concentrates with a liquid consistency such as Colorex or Faidal are used for water-based emulsion and dispersion paints;
  • colorants and pastes such as Interior-Facade, Tex, Unisistem, Olki, Izhsintez can be used to pigment oil and alkyd enamels, as well as most modern whitewash mixtures;
  • universal coloring pastes such as Monicolor, Elast-Color, Professional, Polymer and Unicolor are optimal solution for work with polyurethane, nitrocellulose, organosilicon and epoxy enamels;
  • colors with pearlescent or metallic sheen - this is a wide range of compositions, among which you can choose the option suitable for most modern paintwork materials.

Features of coloring water-based paints

In the photo - mixing a white base with yellow dye

Kohler for water-based paint is by far the most popular type of pigmenting compositions. And this is not surprising, since water-based paints are considered the most popular when carrying out repairs in an apartment or a country house.

The colors of the color scheme for water-based paint are so diverse that using them in right combinations any shade can be achieved.

In the photo - a white base for painting the facade

Using specialized colors for water-based formulations, the following types of paints can be pigmented:

  • water-dispersion;
  • adhesive;
  • latex.

That is, if you see a package labeled “color for acrylic paint” in a hardware store, you can be sure that this tool is suitable for use with the three categories of paintwork materials listed above.

The average consumption of color for water-based paint is up to 20% of the volume of the base white composition.

It is not difficult to give color to water-based paintwork materials, it is enough to follow the following tips:

  • When purchasing a color scheme, calculate in advance how much it will be required in relation to the volume of paint used.
  • When purchasing color, follow the manufacturer's catalog. In this case, you can see the finished shade and decide on the appropriateness of such a purchase.
  • When planning to create complex shades, use special ones.
  • When working with strangers, make a test solution in a small bowl. For these purposes, it is preferable to use white dishes.
  • Having prepared a test solution and having received the desired shade, do not rush to color a whole bucket of paint. Apply a test compound to the surface and wait until it dries. Probably, the shade of the dried coating will not satisfy you and you will have to change the proportions of the dye content.
  • If the saturation of the shade suits, you can knead the solution in a bucket. Keep in mind that the result painting works largely depends on how well it is mixed basic composition with color.
  • In order to achieve the optimal consistency, the solution is kneaded with a plaster nozzle for a drill.

Important: Since you have to mix the liquid, we install the nozzle on a screwdriver or on a drill with speed control.
We set the speed to a minimum so as not to splatter the paint on the sides.
If the paint is still splattering on the sides, move the switch to the reverse position.

  • Immediately before painting, the solution must be mixed again.

Despite the fact that diluting the color with your own hands is not difficult at all, there is an easier method. AT this case we are talking about computer selection and pigmentation of water-based paints.

In most large stores selling building materials, you can find a department with special equipment. A container with base paint is placed in the machine. In a special software information about the selected shade is entered, and the dispenser itself pours the appropriate combination of dyes into the container.

Then the bucket with base paint and added components is hermetically sealed with a lid and placed on a vibrating platform. Due to intense vibration, the solution is mixed to a homogeneous consistency.

Important: The price of an automatically tinted paint will be slightly higher than the cost of a manually mixed composition.
But with automatic mixing, you can be sure that the output shade will meet your expectations.

Other types of paints and dyes are mixed in a similar way, with the difference that different proportions are used.

Conclusion

Now that you are aware specifications colors for paint and methods for mixing the solution, it remains to purchase everything that is necessary for painting work. If you have questions that require a qualified answer, watch the video in this article.

Not always the tone of the material for painting offered by the manufacturer satisfies the consumer.

To give the desired shade to the composition, a color for water-based paint is added to its base.

What are colors

Kohler is a concentrated pigment based on a binder or a pasty consistency saturated with one of the colors. The main purpose is to give existing paints the desired shades.

Tinting pastes are used for all surfaces. Before painting them, each owner is puzzled by the choice of the desired color, so that the latter simultaneously matches the interior. Offered in retail tones do not always satisfy consumer needs, and choosing the right one can be difficult.

What is paint color for? Usually based on White color, and in order for it to acquire the intended shade, a concentrated pigment is added to it. Mixing color with a coloring base is carried out in the amount of:

  • no more than 20% for water-based paints;
  • no more than 1.5% for oil-based paints;
  • no more than 7% for other types of paints.

Such decisions were made due to the high saturation of color gamuts. With a high concentration of color, the performance of the paint decreases.

Types of colors, how to choose, how to breed and how to choose a color

Coloring is added to the paint to give a color that matches the style of the room.

Types of pastes are divided into:

  • inorganic;
  • organic.

The second from the list have bright tones. At the same time, the choice color palette big enough. But, despite this plus, there is one drawback - they quickly fade under the influence of sunlight.

The release of inorganic pigments is produced in limited quantities, their colors are dull, but they retain color properties for a long time.

How to choose a color for painting walls? To do this, do the following:

  1. Explore the proposed catalog.
  2. With no code colors it is not necessary to experiment with obtaining a tone in a store, since the color obtained in this way will differ from that created at home.
  3. Kohler must be mixed with a small portion of the coloring base.
  4. With artificial lighting of the room, it is recommended to use organic pigments, and with the predominance of natural color - inorganic.
  5. Not necessarily the products of a foreign manufacturer are better than domestic ones. Russian manufacturers produce tinting pastes of no less quality than the products of foreign colleagues.
  6. You should pay attention to the neck of the bottle, it should be narrow, so it will be easier to dispense.
  7. A palette of water-based paints will not be superfluous when purchasing a diluted pigment, it will be easier to navigate in order to get the expected shade.

What are the colors for paint from modern manufacturers? From famous brands tinting pastes can be distinguished:

  1. Tikkruril. The products of this company are designed to obtain the expected result after the initial dilution with the base. In total there are more than 2000 tones of this manufacturer. The manufacturer offers a choice of a number of shades for painting facades.
  2. Natural Color System (NCS) - the color scheme is made according to the standards of Swedish and Norwegian manufacturers. Available in 6 basic colors: yellow, black, red, green, blue and white. Other tones are derived from them. By the letters and numbers printed on the containers, it is easy to decide on the choice of color.
  3. Tex is a company that produces pastes based on pigments produced outside the Russian Federation. They have versatility, are used to give color to water-based paints, putties and are added to whitewash. Used for internal works and facade painting.
  4. Rogneda is a network of Moscow organizations that produces products for artistic purposes and to give tone to paint, plaster or putty. The color scheme of this company is resistant to sun and negative temperatures, and also has high property adhesion.
  5. Elakr - color for facade paint. It is resistant to negative factors environment and light resistance. Perfectly stored at negative temperatures. Largely facade paints are produced on a white basis, and to give them color they need to be bred.

Is the color white or not? Basically, the manufacturer produces colored pastes in light and saturated colors, but in some cases there is also a white color scheme. It is typically used to provide weather resistance and abrasion protection for advertising lettering and graphics.

Important! Products for water-based paints have gained the greatest popularity, but it is not difficult to acquire the appropriate pigment for other types of coloring bases.

Sequence of tinting

How to tint paint at home so that the color matches the expected? First you need to calculate the amount of material needed to perform painting work in this room.

In the event that the paint is not enough to complete the work, it is unlikely that it will be possible to observe the same proportion again. How to dilute color in water-based paint?

Steps for getting color:

  1. Pour a small amount of white paint into a small container.
  2. Then color is added to the white base little by little, while it is important to record how much was added coloring matter. In this way, obtaining the expected shade is regulated. The main thing is to remember how much color was used up.
  3. It is recommended to add the tinting mass in drops using a syringe with the needle removed. This will make dosing easier.
  4. After obtaining the desired tone, the surface is painted. This is necessary in order to make sure that the color matches the requirements. Moreover, it is enough to paint an area of ​​\u200b\u200bno more than 0.5 m2.
  5. If everything is fine, then you can dilute the paint and boldly paint the walls. If an unsatisfactory result is obtained, experiment any number of times.

To obtain a rich color, color should be added to the paint before painting operations, but no later than 2 hours before the start of work. If the time period is increased, then the pigments will settle to the bottom, and the painted surface will not be as bright as expected.

Important! Colors for walls on the surface are checked for their compliance with lighting fixtures. Surface color mixing is not suitable, should be mixed thoroughly, better mixer. The preparation of the paint composition should be done in one container.

Features of the use of colors

Kohler - means tone or color (this is a translation from Latin). Depending on the dosage of the added material, a given shade can be achieved. It is used for painting interior and exterior substrates.

Designed for coloring:

  • wood surfaces;
  • concrete;
  • bricks;
  • plasters;
  • drywall;
  • metal.

Suitable for base paints water-based compositions, oil and alkyd, epoxy compounds, nitrocellulose and polyurethane foam.

Tinting tablespecially designed to facilitate the choice of colors. It indicatesproportions of paint and color.

For example, 1:5 means that the color consumption for five parts of the main color is one part. It is not necessary to add a large amount of material at the same time, as the paint base can be ruined.

To properly perform breeding, it is necessary to adhere to the requirements set forth in the instructions developed by the manufacturer. The measurements must be the same size. It is important to know that it is better to purchase paint and color from the same manufacturer.

Can it be dyed with color? This question is asked by some people. Kohler is specially designed to give tone to the base color, it is saturated with pigment. Therefore, its basis is a binder. Adhesion between the surface and the base will also work, as with painting. regular paint. So the color scheme itself to perform painting work can be used, but it will be quite expensive.

Advice! If the concentrated pigment is not used in full, then the remaining material can be mixed with water. Thus, it will be kept for at least 5 years.

Useful video: stir color with paint

To paint surfaces, it is not necessary to choose a paint by color, it is enough to purchase a coloring base and the desired color scheme.

Whatever wide choice the color range of paints in the store, sometimes it is not enough. In this case, tinting will come to the rescue - mixing a light base paint and a colored pigment. This allows you to get a wide variety of colors and shades.

Types of tinting

Now it is possible to perform computer tinting of paint. It is only necessary to choose the desired shade, and the paint tinting equipment will accurately calculate all the proportions for the mixture.

A big plus of this method is the ability to repeat the result if necessary. When mixing paint by hand, it is unlikely that the same color will be obtained. But independent tinting makes it possible to evaluate how the paint will look directly in the room and, if necessary, make adjustments.

Shade selection

When choosing the desired shade of paint, a whole group of factors should be taken into account. The paint can look very different when you first test strokes and when the entire surface of the walls is already painted.

Lighting also has a significant effect on the perception of color. Too bright light can visually discolor bright colors. At dusk or low light they will look more dull and gloomy. Warm or cold light lamps can give the paint, respectively, yellowness or blueness.

picking up desired color It is important to remember from the ink tinting spreadsheet that monitors, even with good resolution and color display, will not be able to 100% accurately reproduce the real color tone.

When choosing a wall color for a living space, it is better to give preference to softer and calmer shades. The kitchen and hallway can be painted in brighter and more saturated colors.

DIY tinting

If the tinting of the paint is done by hand, then it is better to do it in the room in which it will be used. This will help you achieve perfect suitable color under the lighting conditions of the room.

When tinting paint with your own hands, you should remember - no matter how hard you try to remember the proportions, you won’t be able to perfectly repeat the same color the second time, the differences will be noticeable to the naked eye. Therefore, the paint must be diluted in a large container, so that it is enough for the entire room at once. To the consumption of paint indicated on the package for 1 square meter it is better to add 5-10% in reserve.

Advice ! To facilitate the process of selecting the desired shade, you can download the program for tinting paints.

It is desirable that white paint and color are products of the same company. Manufacturers can have significant differences in the technology of paint production and its composition, so it’s better not to take risks, otherwise you may get a coating not only of a strange color, but also with poor performance.

Important! Only paint specially designed for it should be used for the surface. Ceiling, wall and floor products are completely different indicators soiling, wear resistance, etc.

As a rule, a paint tinting table is included with the color scheme, showing the possible proportions of mixing colors.

Large manufacturers, for example, Tikkurila, offer buyers entire catalogs of paint tinting, available in paper and electronic form.

To stir the paint, you must use a mixing nozzle on a drill or puncher, because long and thorough mixing of the mixture by hand will still not give a uniform result. The paint is mixed until a homogeneous mass in color and density is obtained.

The color of the paint in the container may differ slightly from what will be obtained when applied to the surface. To see how this shade will look on the wall, it is worth preparing a trial mixture (trying to remember the exact ratio of the components), and then paint small plot and wait until it dries out a little. Although even if the proportions are observed the second time, it will not work to get absolutely identical colors, trial staining will still help to get an approximate idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe result. It should be remembered that as it dries, the color of the walls will become somewhat less bright and saturated.

If you don’t like the resulting color, then you can change it by adding either a little more color, or, conversely, white paint. If water-based dyes were used, then the mixture can be diluted with water.

Advice ! If the color is in an uncomfortable package, from which it is difficult to add it to the paint in a small amount, then it will be convenient to use a regular syringe.

Types of colors

The composition of dyes can be organic or inorganic. The first type allows you to get brighter and more saturated shades, but over time, this coating fades noticeably. Inorganic colors are presented in a much narrower range of colors, but are resistant to weathering and ultraviolet radiation.

Colors are available as:

  • Pastes;
  • dry mix;
  • Liquids.

Dry dyes have the most favorable price of all three types. Among their main shortcomings are big choice colors and the difficulty of accurately adjusting the hue. Before adding to the white base, the powder must be diluted in a liquid suitable for its type - water, drying oil, etc. and mix thoroughly.

Liquid dyes are the most convenient to use. They allow you to very effectively change the shade of color. You should choose colors in accordance with the type of paint in the room (water-based, acrylic, oil, etc.). If some area of ​​the surface needs to be selected color accent, then the color can be used even undiluted.

Although color pastes are easy to use, they themselves can have an uneven color. As a result, when mixed, it may turn out unexpectedly light or dark shade. When using them, it is important to observe the proportions - the amount of paste for a certain volume of base paint should not exceed that specified in the instructions.

  • Both Russian and foreign manufacturers have a large selection of types and shades of colors. Domestic paints not only have more favorable price, but they are not particularly inferior in quality, so chasing expensive foreign products does not make sense.
  • As a basis for tinting, it is recommended to use snow-white, and not just white paint. The latter often has a yellowish tint, which can greatly affect the result of tinting.
  • Do not get carried away, and immediately pour half a bottle of dye into the base. Even a few drops of color already noticeably change the color of the paint.
  • Colors can be used not only to obtain the desired shade of paint, but also added, for example, to plaster.

note! Many mistakenly call tinting any mixing of paints of different colors.

However, there are two concepts for this action:

  • glazing - if two are mixed different colors to get a third (for example, yellow and blue to create green);
  • tinting is the addition of a coloring matter to white paint.

Surface preparation

Before painting, it is important to clean the wall from dirt, traces of the previous coating, mold, etc. If the surface is uneven, it is better to plaster and sand it. It is also important that the wall covering for painting is also white, because dark background will be noticeable even after several layers of paint. For better adhesion(adhesion) of the dye to the surface, it is recommended to use a suitable this type paint primer.

Advice ! You should carefully read the instructions, recommendations for use and the proportions of the components indicated on the package.

This will avoid unpleasant surprises in the process of tinting wall paint and painting and get the desired shade without too much difficulty. And the video instruction will explain in detail how to make paint tinting without errors.
