Colourants

Universal colourants are concentrated tinting pastes used to colour or shade an existing base. Binder-free, they blend with a wide range of products, above all paints, to create a made-to-measure colour. Professionals use them to adjust a shade right on the job site, while homeowners use them to warm up a white that feels too cold or to create a colour you won't find in any colour chart. They are suitable for both interior and exterior decoration. Start by choosing the shade for the effect you want: oxide tones, such as yellow ochre oxide, give warm, earthy hues that work just as well in a classic interior as on a façade. The 200 ml size is ideal for small jobs and touch-ups, so you don't have to open a large tin for a single wall. To preserve the quality of the paint, never exceed 10% colourant in the mix. Test on a small quantity first and note the exact proportions. Then tint the full volume you need in one go to keep the colour identical from one wall to the next.
