The color for acrylic paint is a special concentrated dye, which in a certain volume is added to the coloring mixture to obtain a particular shade. In the future, the paint is thoroughly mixed with the pigment and applied to the desired surface.The shade of the mixture can be adjusted manually according to the recommendations given in the instructions.

Using the right proportion, you can get the desired intensity of a particular color tone.and you can also mix several shades of colors by adding them to one acrylic blend.

In order to choose the right color for the paint, you should know the main types of such pigments. Today, many manufacturers offer universal colors, which are also suitable for various types of paints. They are considered the most popular among buyers.

Among the wide range you can find tinted pastes and colorants for acrylic paints. As part of the latter, special resins are used, which increase the solubility, but at the same time reduce the viscosity of the pastes.

Corals with inorganic pigment are considered more light-resistant, they do not fade with time and do not lose their former brightness, but at the same time they have not the largest color palette.

Many manufacturers offer matte versions of color schemes, as well as pearl variants and colorants with a metallic sheen. All are suitable for most varieties of acrylic paints and enamels.

When choosing a color scheme, you should not forget that water-based pigments in their usual form look much brighter and richer than in the already dried ones. This factor must be taken into account when selecting the desired pigment.

Choosing the right shade of color scheme, do not forget to consider:

• Lighting in the room. Artificial may give cold colors a slightly warmer shade, but warm shades may look lighter;
• Light colors of color schemes, for example, single, powdery and dairy, can help to visually expand even a small room, for example, if you are going to paint with acrylic paint on the wall.

In addition, if you are not sure that you have correctly calculated the amount of material you need, including the color scheme, it is best to use the services of specialists.

Most often color schemes are used when it is necessary to choose a certain shade, taking into account the whole design of the room, as well as during interior design, when you may need some special color of acrylic paint. But to get it, you just need to add the necessary pigment to the acrylic mixture.

Also colors may be needed if there is no shade of paint on the counter. Thanks to the correctly chosen color schemes, you can not only revive the design of the room, but also make redecoration in a fairly short time.

Before proceeding to the choice of acrylic enamel and the necessary color, be sure to make all the calculations of materials.

Tinting paint can occur in two ways:

• Manually;
• With the help of a computer.

Since at home everyone works by hand, acrylic paints with color schemes should be diluted about 10% more than you need. This is done because it can be very difficult, and often impossible, to reproduce the same color.

Coloring paint is best done in a single container, so that the acrylic mixture with a hue turned out to be homogeneous. Otherwise, planting paint with color in different containers, you risk getting completely different shades.

Also, do not forget about the following important points before tinting the paint:

• Acrylic blends, which are intended for interior decoration, often whiter than all the rest. This is an undoubted advantage, since when tinting such paints, the future shade will turn out to be more pure and saturated, and there will not be any divorces or impurities in it;
• Try to buy acrylic paints and enamels exclusively for the intended purpose, since their compositions may differ, and this is especially important, because the color scheme will also have a slight effect on the composition. If you continue to use the paint for other purposes, it will not serve you due date;
• The matte colors of colorists will look more restrained compared to the glossy options that can be poured and peculiar play in shades.

Despite the fact that both acrylic paints and colors are safe for humans, work with them exclusively in gloves. In addition, it is important to know that high-quality color products do not have characteristic and unpleasant odors. It is possible to dilute the paint with color scheme, but the necessary shade needs to be thought out in advance.
