The effect of all paints on all woods and metals.
Every paint applied to Diamond Gemspark Blocks and walls with Illuminant Coating, during day and night.

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 apply their color more vividly and are required in order to paint certain objects.

Coating(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is used to apply a special effect over a block and can be applied in tandem with paint and other coatings. It is purchased from the Painter NPC.

Paint and coatings are applied to blocks and furniture with the Paintbrush, and to walls with the Paint Roller, with each tile consuming one item of paint/coating. The Paint Sprayer will automatically paint items when placing them. Paint and coatings can be removed with the Paint Scraper, although they 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).

Types

Basic and deep paints

The basic paint items are purchased for 25 CC per bucket. The deep paints are crafted from two of the respective basic paint at a Dye Vat. All of these paint items can be sold for 5 CC each.

Notes

  • Painting a light source will not change the color of the light.
  • Deep paint is a more vivid version of its base color, and is also required in order to paint certain objects. These include statues, trees, and certain background walls (e.g. Cloud Walls), except in the case of White, Gray and Brown Paint which do not have a deep variety, as they already function as deep paint. Objects which are normally white, gray or brown (e.g. Switches) will be at best very faintly colored, unless deep paints are used.
  • Regular and deep paint appear to apply their color differently – regular paint appears to "re-tint" objects, changing existing colors to the new color, while deep paint seems to apply its color on top of the object. The inability to paint "monochrome"-colored objects like Gray Bricks with normal paint seems to be a result of this behavior.
    • Some tiles have specific defined regions which will be painted with regular paint, even if other parts of the tile have color.
  • If painted grass spreads to adjacent Dirt/Mud Blocks, it will spread the paint too. Tall grass and flowers growing on painted grass will also inherit the same paint. An Acorn planted on painted grass will grow into a painted tree with the same paint; likewise for a Gemcorn on painted stone. (If the sapling is painted, the tree will be unaffected.)
  • If any gravity-affected block (e.g. a Sand Block) is painted, it will lose that paint the moment it enters into its falling state.

Tips

  • Painted blocks and walls will show up on the minimap, allowing to "mark" the map by painting an area with a distinct color.
  • Painting doors requires only 3 paint, even though they occupy 6 tiles when opened. Closing and re-opening a door applies the paint to the entire six tiles.
    • It is also possible to apply paint to 3 random spots of an open door, close it, and re-open it. This will also paint the entire door.
