3. It starts dark enough to allows backdrops to be darker at top
(where few clouds are painted) to lighter at horizon (where
more clouds and white paint over-sprays of cities, mountains,
hills, etc. will lighten the sky at the horizon level)

not “wash out” when exposed to photo lights, flashes, etc.
5. It is available anywhere in the United States of America and
many foreign countries

Sherwin Williams, Super paint Interior Flat Latex “Tint-A-
Color” base #6405-12877 “Extra White” mixed to custom color
#1792*R BONNET BLUE. The colorant mixture for this paint
listed on the can is:
Tint-A-Color 1792*R Bonnet Blue*EW
COLORANT 02 32 64 128
R3 Magenta - 13 1 1
L1 Blue - 52 - -
This paint color is recommended for the following reasons:
1. It contains no green pigments (green gives a “sick” unnatural
look to sky backdrops)
2. It is dark enough that the white clouds will show even when
painted with very thin sprays of white paint
