Paint is used to provide color to various projects.

Sources

Created in a Pigment Laboratory using various quantities of ingredients. The 11 ingredients are:

• Cabbage Juice - purple
• Carrots - orange
• Clay - brown
• Dead Tongue Mushrooms - reddish
• Toad Skin Mushrooms - dark green
• Falcon's Bait Mushrooms - light green
• Red Sand - bold red
• Lead - blue grey
• Silver Powder - black
• Iron - rust
• Copper - aqua

The 4 catalysts are:

• Sulfur
• Potash
• Lime
• Saltpeter

Uses

• Paint is primarily used as a building material, and in research.

• You can buy a Paint License in the Desert Nomad Store. When using this it costs 75 paint to paint your warehouse.

Paint License: Permission to paint one warehouse once. Supplied in packs of 5

• You can use paint to add color to Shop shelves at the cost of 10 paint per shelf.

• When a building or research requires paint of a non-specific colour (ie, Greenish, or Whiteish), then any paint colour with that non-specific colour in the name will be accepted. For example, Spring Green and Forest Green will both satisfy a requirement for Greenish paint.

Recipes

Recipes involving the catalysts are Character Specific and thus will be different from person to person.

Some Base ingredients react with each other, the magnitude and direction of this reaction is also character specific.

Reactionless Paint Recipes involving just the base ingredients that don't react with each other can be used by anyone.

Ingredients and Mixing

There are eleven base ingredients, and each has a starting RGB value, listed below. Note: in earlier tellings, ores were used instead of metals. However, the RGB values are unchanged.

Paint Reactions

Here is the full table of possible reactions. This table seems to be specific to Tale 7. Every player will have the same Color Reaction according to the table below. Though the amount (between -64 to +63) is avatar dependent.
Earthlight Mushrooms have not been tested yet.
If someone ele could verify the data is correct that would be great—Anien

Tools

The following tools were available for T7, but may not have been tested for T8:

• Desert Paint Lab paint ingredient reaction recorder and simulator.

Note: GTK# for .net needs to be installed on Windows computers for Desert Paint Lab to work correctly. http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-win

• https://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale7/File:PracticalPaint.Zip paint recipe generator from determined ingredient reactions.

• Note: I gathered my reactions today. I had to update reactions.txt to use the Paint Reactions table on this page. I also added some notes/comments to help newbies (which I am today) figure out how you're suppose to test you reactions.
  • Alternatively try this zip of Practical Paint for T8. It might help, not sure.
  • This zip is 100% the same as the T7 link except updated reactions.txt : https://ceg.atitd.org/paint/PracticalPaintT8-Ceg.zip —Added to website since T8 wiki doesn't currently allow .zip to be uploaded. ~Cegaiel - June 16, 2018

• I replaced the above .zip to use Falcon Bait instead of Earth Light - Changelog: On July 8, 2018 Changed: Earth Light has been swapped for Falcon's Bait in making paint was updated in game. Some of the reactions has also changed. Files updated to reflect those changes. ~Cegaiel - August 9, 2018
  • Created Video to show friend how to use Automato's paint_watch.lua to get your reactions for Practical Paint's reaction.txt file. Maybe it will help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccLGduqM0Oc ~Cegaiel - August 8, 2018
