Within the set, 6 colorants are based on inorganic pigments that guarantee excellent resistance to exterior application and a very high opacity. The remaining 10 are based on organic pigments that make it possible to obtain vibrant colors and complete the obtainable range of colors.

Each product in the system presents a white base that corresponds to the white finished product and has in support the intermediate and neutral bases that are needed to greatly widen the color range and obtain also deeper shades. The ADICOLOR tinting system gives the possibility of coloring an extensive range of products such as emulsion paints, quartz based paints, waterborne and solvent based enamels as well as the renowned decorative effect finishes range.
