Concentrated colorants, formulated for compatibility with a wide range of paint bases, permit the creation of custom colors. These color additives, available in liquid or paste form, are designed to disperse evenly throughout both water-based and oil-based paints. A common application involves adding a small amount of a blue pigment to a white base to achieve a pale blue hue.
The employment of these adaptable colorants presents several advantages within painting applications. They afford users flexibility in achieving precise color matches, reducing the need for pre-mixed paints. Historically, color matching was a complex process; these products simplify the process, leading to cost savings by minimizing waste and inventory requirements.
