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. 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 this will not place paint back into the player's inventory.

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).

The Deep variety of Paint is crafted at the Dye Vat from two of the same color paint. Deep paints are more vivid versions of colors, and are also required in order to paint certain objects. These include Statues, Trees, and certain background walls (eg. Cloud Walls), except in the case of White and Gray, which can be used on those objects without crafting the Deep variety first.
