DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint Set of 6 Colors in 2 oz Bottles
This DecoArt Americana acrylic paint set contains six water-based colors in 2 oz bottles, covering the three primaries, a green, a white, and a black. The paint has a matte finish and a medium body, and it goes on with a brush or sponge. Because the colors are intermixable, the set can be blended into additional shades beyond the six bottle.
Americana Acrylics has been DecoArt's flagship acrylic line for over 35 years, and this set collects the basic colors in one purchase. Clean-up is done with soap and water.

- Primary Red, Primary Yellow, and Primary Blue are included, so you can mix additional colors from the set instead of buying separate bottles for each shade.
- Snow (Titanium) White and Lamp (Ebony) Black come alongside the primaries, so tints and shades can be mixed without leaving the set.
- Medium body applies with either a brush or a sponge, so you can choose the application method that fits the piece you are painting.
- Water-based formula cleans up from brushes and sponges with soap and water, with no solvents needed at the end of a painting session.
- Approved for wood, walls, canvas, terra cotta, paper, styrofoam, unglazed ceramics, metal, and stone, so one set covers projects that combine different materials.
- Touch-dry in an average of 20–30 minutes, so pieces can be handled and moved along in the build while the paint continues to cure over 5–7 days.
This acrylic paint set works for base coating and painting details on wood pieces, canvas, paper, and terra cotta pots, and the same paint also goes on unglazed ceramics, styrofoam, metal, and stone. Common uses include painting wooden cutouts and figures, coloring craft projects with a limited palette, and classroom or workshop color-mixing exercises built around the three primaries plus white and black. For pouring techniques, DecoArt recommends mixing the paint 1:1 with DecoArt Pouring Medium. When a mixed color needs to be repeated across several pieces, keeping a note of the bottle ratios used makes it easy to match later.
-
What surfaces can I paint with this set?
The paint is approved for wood, walls, canvas, terra cotta, paper, styrofoam, unglazed ceramics, metal, and stone. It is not approved for outdoor use. -
Can I mix other colors from the six in this set?
Yes. The colors are intermixable, and the set includes Primary Red, Primary Yellow, Primary Blue, Snow (Titanium) White, and Lamp (Ebony) Black, along with Festive Green. -
How long does the paint take to dry?
Average dry time to touch is 20–30 minutes, and full cure takes 5–7 days. Both times can vary with temperature, humidity, and other conditions. -
How should I prepare and apply the paint?
Shake the bottle well before use, then apply with a brush or sponge. Brushes and sponges clean up with soap and water. -
Can this paint be used for pouring techniques?
DecoArt recommends mixing the paint 1:1 with DecoArt Pouring Medium for best results with pouring. The pouring medium is not included in this set. -
Is every color in the set equally opaque?
No. Opacity varies by color, so coverage may differ from one bottle to the next.
Keeping the base colors within one DecoArt line means every bottle shares the same water-based formula and matte finish. Mixing between bottles and cleaning up afterward follow the same routine for each color, whether you are painting a single wood piece or working through a batch.
