Tint No. 12 XUN Grey – for decorative paints and plasters

Grey Tinting Paste No. 12 XUN

A professional Italian-made tinting concentrate from the XUN (eXtended Ultra Neutral) series, designed for precise, balanced, and UV-stable grey toning of water-based decorative paints and plasters. It delivers a true neutral grey—free from unwanted warm or cool undertones—making it ideal for crafting modern, minimalist, industrial, or neoclassical interiors, as well as for refining and neutralizing other colors in professional color-mixing workflows.

Thanks to its enhanced lightfastness, No. 12 XUN Grey resists yellowing, fading, or chromatic shift over time, ensuring long-term color integrity—even in sunlit rooms or semi-exposed façade areas—when used with compatible weather-resistant bases from the Kraski Breez range (including microcements, structural plasters, and textured finishes).

Safe for use in children’s rooms when incorporated into certified eco-friendly formulations.
