Are you also tired of the same boring paint? Me to, so I made a solution! My idea is (new) strange paints. These paints are given as quest rewards by the Painter in exchange for Strange Plants. Nearly anything can be painted with these paints, including blocks, background walls, and furniture, along with non-collectable environment objects like trees, tall grass, flowers, and other ambient growth. If you give the Painter 1 Strange Plant, you get 50 paint buckets of 1 random kind of strange paint. Strange paints have a blue symbol on the sprite, just like the strange dyes. Here are the Paints:

I like the idea, but I'm not sure about trading Strange Plants for limited buckets of paint. It can be difficult to get the dyes you want from the Dye Trader.
Maybe if there were different plants or items to trade it, that would prevent a conflict and give players a bit more incentive to explore. Alternatively, maybe the paint buckets could have an infinite supply of paint?

Maybe the animated dyes can be crafted into stacks of 150 of the respective paint.
Crafted at the dye vat
One strange dye = 150 strange paint
Why 150? Because the dyes come in threes, and any stack of paint smaller than 50 is useless.

First of all, thanks for the reply! Second of all, sorry for my late reply. What if I raise the amount of strange paints you get to a random amount between 500-600?

Thanks for replying! And sorry for my late reply. I like your idea and I will consider it.

No worries.
Personally, I think the paint bucket should have an unlimited amount of paint. I don't really use paint, so I'm not sure what an acceptable amount would be.
