Claim:
A method for coloring caulk, comprising: providing a cylindrical cartridge containing caulk that is clear after curing, wherein the cartridge comprises a substantially cylindrical body defining an interior housing the caulk, a dispensing tip coupled to the body, and a removable and replaceable end-cap sealing the caulk in the body, and wherein at least a portion of the body is sufficiently clear so as to allow the color of caulk contained within the cartridge to be viewed; removing the end-cap from the body; adding paint of a desired color to the caulk, wherein the amount of paint does not, when combined with the caulk, exceed about 5% of the total combined volume of the caulk and paint; and mixing the paint and the caulk, wherein the color of the caulk becomes substantially the same as the desired color.
