What Does Dry Color Mean?

A dry color is a powdered color that is mixed with water, alcohol or mineral spirits and resin to form a paint or stain, which is then applied to a surface needing corrosion protection. Industrial paints or coatings often do not have any pre-existing colors – they receive their color by mixing dry colors in the liquid paint solution.
