Besides your preference for particular colors, there are coverage and durability considerations in selecting a can of paint color. The main components in a can of paint are resin, pigments, solvents, and additives. Resin is the glue that holds the paint together and allows it to adhere to surfaces (walls, floors, trim, ceilings, etc.). Pigments are solid particles that provide color and coverage. Solvents thin the paint into a liquid form for application to a surface. Additives give additional characteristics to the paint, such as rust or mildew resistance. These four components are part of every untinted can of paint. For ready-made paints or at the point of sale, colorants are liquid paint products that are added to the base to produce the final paint color.

Wine has traditionally been stored in caves. The best wine storage areas replicate these conditions as much as possible with little to no light, controlled humidity, and chilled temperatures.
