I've mentioned this in comments on other threads and various places, but on both here and Reddit, I keep coming across more people who haven't caught on to this yet.
The Pimps have unleashed the paint! You might even say, they took the "pain" out of "paint".
See, in the recipes.xml, there's this bit:
<recipe name="resourcePaint" count="100" craft_area="campfire" craft_tool="toolCookingPot">
<ingredient name="resourceCropChrysanthemumPlant" count="1"/>
<ingredient name="drinkJarRiverWater" count="1"/>
See that? Campfire + cooking pot can get you cheap and easy paint cranked out 100 at a time!
Way back when I first started playing this game, I was so happy we could paint... but sooo sad that paint was so painful to make. Chem bench, oil, flowers... Paint was literally the only thing I would spawn in from CM because something that's purely aesthetic being so late-game in acquisition was just something I couldn't deal with. LOL Later on, scrapping dyes became my go to but again, choosing between pretty pants and pretty walls... painful. So back to the CM I went for my paint. And I didn't like that - I like to craft my stuff, I like the process of making things to create the base I want.
Back in A17, I did a co-op challenge with a friend, "30 Days to Live", on Navezgane. A horde base contest, basically. We were on opposite sides of the road outside Diersville close to the gas station. Though it was a competition, we did share some stuff, and since we could only make one chem bench between the two of us, we put it in the middle of the road between our claims and shared it. But he wanted to make gunpowder and I wanted to make... Yup, you guessed it - paint. Since he was hosting the game, he ended up CMing some paint for me. LOL (I named my base Pink Death, spelled out in metal letters on the front so it had to be pink or it wouldn't make any sense. These things matter!) (Also, I won, in case you were wondering.)
The pain is gone, the paint is here. In quantity. And I've been the paint evangelist, mentioning it whenever it was relevant ever since I noticed it, but it really needed it's own thread both to express my gratitude and to spread the word.
Go, my friends. Go out and paint the world.
Thank you, Pimps. You've made me very happy!

I wasn't kidding when I said I'd been spreading the word. LOL
