For thousands of years, colors have been made from earth and other pigments. Milk paint colors (also known as Shaker colors ) are still made today using casein as a basis, using the old method . They come as a powder and are mixed with water in a ratio of about 1:1 . With a little more water, you get a more transparent color.

The wonderful, historical colors delight restorers, cabinet makers and hobbyists all over the world. With Milk Paint you can create a vintage or shabby chic look with simple tools. The colors can be mixed together quickly and easily, even with Snow White . This way you can create countless tones and shades. Allergy sufferers in particular love the natural color, which is compostable .

Please note: Only mix as much color powder with water as is needed, as the color can be used for a maximum of two days once it has been mixed. The color powder that has not been mixed, on the other hand, can be kept for many years .

One packet of Milk Paint contains 1 pint or 170 g of powder. When mixed normally, this yields about 0.5 litres of paint and is enough for about 3 square metres of area.
