Just like if you get UTC's, make sure the lids are tight, they don't clog up and they have a tendency to settle if not used often, can get a little crusty. Artist acrylics will have more binder in them verses the machine/UTC which do not and need the help of the tint base. ![]() For instance using ultramarine blue and quinacridone crimson works great with Ben Moores blue and magenta. and knowing how to cipher between them and your utc's/machine tints can render the same color. Machine tints are typically made up of red, yellow, blue, gold, umber, oy, ro brown (basic color names ) whereas artist colors/UTC's are more associated with burnt umbers, raw umber, phthalo greens, quinacridones, cobalts, etc. One of the main differences in the above is a variation in the pigment names. Its like trying to transfer the machine tints, UTC's, and artists acrylics to give you the same equivalency. All paint companies will have their own unique set of machine tints to go with their own unique set of tint bases. QUOTE::::: Can anyone tell me what the names of all those tints are? Keeps me sane and I stay a happy camper when I need to refer back to something. I also get an extra print out for my customer files. Those labels are there are reasons and the end user definitely needs the printout for obvious reasons. If you are getting paint from a store that does not do this, JMHO I would put a stop to this right now. * THIS kind of formula would be REAL hard to hit consistantly with a "manual" type cylinder w/ stop-notches.Įvery paint can I have mixed has a label and the formula is on the can and especially Benjamin Moore. * Each colorant has its own specific weight to equal "a shot", or 1/48 of an Oz. * Formula's like this kind of imply expensive tinters that dispense using PUMPS than run the TIME needed to reach a certain "gravimetric weight" of a specific colorant amount. * Obviously converted to a decimal-format here. "HR" = High-strength Red "BL" = Low-strength Blue "HB" = High-strength Blue "RL" = Low-strength Red "HK" = High-str. (1 of only a couple companies to use so many different colorants.made in Finland) "F" is Red-Oxide."AXX" = Organic Yellow."V" = Magenta.Ĭ2's 16 colorants are a little different! "C", "YO" or "OY", usually is Yellow-Oxide. * As stated, there's many other ways too! * Some goofy formula's print out values in a "64ths" column. * The Tinting-software a store uses makes a difference too. A formula written as "1Y12", means there's 48 shots (the 1Y) PLUS 12 more shots of that colorant. * I THINK most are set up as 48 shots = 1 Oz written as "1Y" normally. *Some have a 32-shot "Ounce", some have a 48-shot "Ounce", etc. It mainly depends on how each Mfr.'s formula-database is set up: BUT they're lots different than Paint-machine colorants. colorants aren't sold O-T-C, since they're Glycol-based.Īrtist's tints/pastes are of course. ![]() Unfortunately, there's about 9 different formats for Paint/Color formulas! Wish I could help you more, but that is what I know about their pigments and measurements. I just don't recall anything ever being on their labels as what is listed above. They are fractions of fluid ounces, referred as shots 32shots = 1 oz. The numbers/letters you have listed above is not the typical way BM formula's are dispensed. Could be UTC's which are closer to artist pigments. Unless the color was a BM color and different brands were used for the mix and products like their Ben, Nurtura and Aura uses the special gennex tints and they are not listed the way you found them neither.Īnother thing, just thinking these could be just plain standard universal tints and are not any way Ben Moores 12 glycol based or their waterborne gennex acrylic pigments. A gallon formula you would just 5x's it Their formulas are not listed that way. Not in the Regal line, nor the Aura colorants. I have used Wythe Blue before and that was definitely not the formula for that color. To my knowledge their colorants are not listed in this manner at all. I use BM products almost everyday and I am behind a paint counter many times over also.
