Paint

Template:Languages

Paint is used to provide color to various projects.

Source

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
• Earth Light 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.

Template:7ok Our ancestors could also use paint to color their compounds. This is no longer possible in modern-day Egypt.

Research and Tuition

• 24,706 needed for Chromatic Touch research - see Chromatic Touch for colors
• 400 required for Herpeculture research - see Herpeculture for colors
• 500 (Red, Green, Blue, Pink, Orange, Indigo and Yellow) required for Mass Production of Color research
• 1000 (Aquamarine, Indian Red, Light Blue, Dark Green) required for Herpeculture Experiments Level 1 research

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.
These values have not been verified in T8.

Cabbage Juice	cj	128	64	144
Carrots	cr	224	112	32
Clay	cl	128	96	32
Copper	co	64	192	192
Dead Tongue	dt	112	64	64

Tools

Template:7ok 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

• File:PracticalPaint.Zip paint recipe generator from determined ingredient reactions.
