TotalBoat Halcyon Water-Based Marine Varnish can be tinted. The dyes, paints, inks, and pigments listed below should work, but always perform a test to ensure good results.

• Dyes: Water-soluble dyes (like TransTint or aniline dyes) mixed with water are excellent for creating translucent effects and preserving the wood grain.
• Paints/Inks: For a more opaque finish, you can mix in a small amount of water-based paint or India ink, but be cautious with the quantity to avoid clouding.
• Pigments: Mica powder pigments, ground rock pigments, or specialized universal colorants may also work, but test carefully.
