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

List of Known Colors
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. ~Cegaiel - June 16, 2018
- 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
