- Pigment:
provides opacity, color (also can provide corrosion resistance, water barrier properties, viscosity control, etc.); primer coatings are sometimes named after a pigment, for example zinc-rich primer.
- Binder (resin):
binds the ingredients (holds everything together), forms the film; also known as the non-volatile vehicle; paint coatings are often named after the resin, for example epoxy, vinyl, polyurethane, acrylic, etc.
- Volatile vehicle (solvent or dispersant):
dissolves or disperses the binder, allows the coating to spread out.

How does paint gets its color?
The color in paint comes from pigment, the other two components of paint are medium and binder. In watercolor paint the pigment is ground with gum Arabic (the binder) and water is the medium. A majority of the pigments are toxic and can contain lead or zinc.
What is water paint?
It is paint mixed with pigment in such a way that all components are water soluble. We used to get paint kits with 8 to 10 colors that you would use a wet paint brush with.
What is the thing inside spray paint and paint markers that shake?
There usually is a steel sphere (or maybe two) inside spray paint cans to help with mixing when you shake the can (you should shake for a good minute or two to be sure that the different components of the pain mix really well before painting)
Components of watercolor paints?
Watercolor paint is made from a colored pigment (such as red rocks ground into a fine powder) and gum arabic, which is a water soluable sap made from the acacia tree. Water is used to thin out the paint while painting.
