What is a tint base?
To enable stores to offer thousands of colors, like Valspar does, we manufacture a series of tint bases for each finish and colorant formula. Each tint base is formulated to work within a range of colors. When you select a color, the experts in the store know which tint base to use to achieve the truest color. Check with your store associate to make sure that you are getting the proper tint base. Through the use of tint bases, you gain access to the maximum number of color choices so you can achieve the desired finish.
