How do I add color to wall texture?
Buy a bag of wall texture. In most cases, you can use powdered wall texture compound, or if you’re only doing a small area, powdered joint compound works. Use either paint or a tint to add the color. Choose a shade a bit darker than you’d usually purchase because, once it’s mixed with the wall texture, it will lighten up some and possibly have more of a pastel appearance. Mix the powdered material with slightly less water than the directions call for. Add a small amount of paint or tint to the mixture, and stir until the color is equally distributed. If the color is not what you desire, add more paint or tint. Don’t worry about adding too much liquid because you can always add more powder if necessary. Ensure that the mixture isn’t too thick, or it will take a very long time to dry once you apply it.
