Abstract: Dye set comprises: (a) at least one substrate component with achromatic coloring substances and chromatic coloring substances for providing a base color; (b) at least one shade component with respective achromatic coloring substances and chromatic coloring substances for mixing with (a) to give subtractive color mixing; and (c) at least one brightening component with achromatic coloring substances and chromatic coloring substances for mixing with (a) and respective (b) for the production of ready-made paint in a color shade. Dye set comprises: (a) at least one substrate component with achromatic coloring substances and chromatic coloring substances for providing a base color; (b) at least one shade component with respective achromatic coloring substances and chromatic coloring substances for mixing with (a) to give subtractive color mixing; and (c) at least one brightening component with achromatic coloring substances and chromatic coloring substances for mixing with (a) and respective (b) for the production of ready-made paint in a color shade, where the tinting, opacity and/or brightness adjusting substances comprise less than 40 vol.% of (a), more than 5 vol.% and less than 75 vol.% of (b) and more than 50 vol.% of (c). Independent claims are included for: (1) a color identification agent, for producing a defined number of shades of ready-made paint, comprising immiscible components of the dye set and respective dosage of each components of the dye set, where each defined number of shades is determined by adjusting a color pattern and an indication of the corresponding volume fractions of (a), (b) and (c); (2) a tinting system, for producing a defined number of shades of ready-made paint, comprising the dye set, the color identification agent and a first metering for accommodating (a), a second metering means in each case for accommodating each (b), and a third metering means for accommodating (c), where each metering means is designed to manually meter the respective dye component and to exactly reproduce the number of shades defined by the color identification agent; (3) a method for producing ready-made paint using the tinting system comprising (i) selecting a color shade from the defined number of shades of ready-made paint and associated metering of (a), (b) and (c) of the dye set with the color identification agent, (ii) providing an appropriate shade component in the corresponding metering means for the production of a defined total volume of the selected shade of the ready-made paint, (ii) manually filling each provided dye set components from the corresponding metering means for mixing and for the production of selected shade, and (iv) producing the defined total volume of the selected shade of the ready-made paint by stirring all provided components of the dye set; and (4) use of plunger syringe with a sliding scale plunger and/or cups with a housing with measurements and a membrane lid or resealable lid as a metering means for producing a defined number of shade of ready-made paint using the tinting system comprising the first metering means to provide useful volume of (a), the every second means for providing constant second useful volume of (b), and a third metering means for providing third useful volume of (c).
