When it comes to choosing the perfect paint colour, there are two main options: off-the-shelf paint (pre-mixed, ready to buy) and tinted paint (mixed to your exact shade).
While off-the-shelf paints are convenient, tinted paint offers unmatched flexibility and quality, making it the preferred choice for professionals and homeowners alike.
What Is Tinted Paint?
Tinted paint is created by mixing a neutral paint base with precise colour pigments using specialist tinting equipment. At Next Day Paint, this means we can mix thousands of colours on demand across a huge range of brands and finishes.
Benefits of Tinted Paint Over Off-the-Shelf
-
Unlimited Colour Choice: Tinting lets you access exclusive colour collections (like Dulux Heritage or Farrow & Ball) in a range of finishes. Off-the-shelf paints are usually limited to popular neutrals.
-
Trade-Quality Formulations: Trade paints are typically mixed into professional grade bases (e.g. Dulux Trade, Johnstone's Trade) for superior coverage, durability and washability compared to many ready-mixed DIY paints.
-
Freshly Mixed for You: Paint is tinted to order, so it’s at its best when it arrives.
-
Custom Finishes: Get your chosen colour in the exact finish you need—whether it’s matt, satin, eggshell or gloss.
-
Better Project Planning: Order the same shade again later with confidence that it will match perfectly.
