Paints



Paint is used to modify the color of objects. Nearly anything can be painted, including blocks, background walls, and furniture, along with non-collectable environment objects like trees, tall grass, flowers, and other ambient growth. Basic Paint is purchased from the Painter NPC. Two of the same color can be combined at a Dye Vat to create "Deep" color versions, which are required in order to paint certain objects.

Paint is applied to blocks and furniture with the Paintbrush, and to walls with the Paint Roller, with each tile consuming one bucket of Paint. The Paint Sprayer will automatically paint items when placing them. Paint can be removed with the Paint Scraper, although it will never be retrieved upon doing so. Destroying a painted block will not drop the Paint item either.

If more than one color is present in the player's inventory, the color in the earliest inventory slot is used first (starting from the top-left slot).

Variations
The basic Paint is purchased from the Painter for per bucket (except Shadow Paint  and Negative Paint  which are only available in Hardmode).
