How to change paint tint?

Can I see what a 3/4 tint of Cabot’s merbau timber paint would look like by adding white paint?

Adding white paint to full strength.

I'm not 100% sure which product you mean when you say Cabot's merbau timber paint.

Are you referring to the Cabot's Timbercolour Deck And Exterior Paint that has been tinted to the colour Merbau?

If so, then it is not quite as simple as just adding white. There is a specific formula for how much of each coloured tint needs to be added to a specific base. To create a 3/4 strength mix, the ratio of these tints needs to be reduced by 1/4.

My colleague Mitchell has given a fairly good explanation of this here - Solved: How to read a Bunnings paint label?

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
