1. Educational and Informational Purpose Only

The content, tutorials, calculators, and color models published on Pintado.org are provided exclusively for educational, hobbyist, and artistic planning purposes. While our subtractive pigment algorithms represent accurate color theory principles, physical paints vary widely across manufacturer formulations, pigment purity, binder types, and surface absorbency. Always perform small physical test swatches on scrap canvas or paper before committing to major artistic works.

2. Art Supply & Chemical Safety Notice

Traditional fine art paints and mediums often contain hazardous heavy metals or volatile solvents, including genuine Cadmium, Cobalt, Lead White, and turpentine/mineral spirits. Pintado encourages all artists to adhere strictly to manufacturer safety guidelines:

• Never ingest, lick brushes, or eat while handling artist-grade paints.
• Ensure adequate cross-ventilation when using solvents or mediums.
• Wear protective barrier creams or nitrile gloves when working with toxic mineral pigments.
• Safely dispose of oily rags and solvent containers to prevent spontaneous combustion.
