How to read a Bunnings paint label?

[Sharon1003]

Hi. I have recently bought a sample paint pot, asked for the colour to be 1/4 strength, and I’m not sure if it has been tinted properly as it seems very close to the original colour when I put it on the wall.   What I asked for was Taubmans Bras D’Or  1/4 strength.      The label doesn’t say 1/4 anywhere, but I’m not skilled in reading paint code.  I’m hoping someone can confirm for me if it really is 1/4 strength or not.  Thankyou.

Hi,

I have looked around for color codes and think that the formula represents:

1.75 units of EE - Yellow Oxide

0.5 unit of M - Black

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community Paul (@BadBuk). It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about paint tinting.

That's about correct, but I've always heard EE referred to as ochre rather than yellow oxide. 

Please let me know if you have further questions.
