Description (From Recipaedia)
A bucket full of paint. Can be used to paint surfaces for decorative purposes. Different colors of paint are obtained by dissolving colored ingredients, such as malachite or purple flowers into white paint.
Crafting
White paint buckets are made by cooking white pigment with a water bucket in a furnace. All other colors begin with the white paint bucket and add other ingredients the same way.
Many colors will require several steps to get the proper color. See Recipedia or the painting page for the recipes for each color.
