Hello, would like to ask how can I create materials like this. They are created from wooden texture. On them are applied thin coloured coating and wooden textures are still visible. I also need to know RGB number of those colours to be able specify them and have under control colour harmony of my interiors. Thank you.

As a quick solution I would use the color multiplier and for the effect of a thicker paint I would add a little bit of the color to the offset. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/3/0/30a8e683cf6ede1c4bd7d4e04f2c467be1f51adb.jpeg) The RGB value you get per image editor and the pipette tool. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/5/6/563314bae388702f5caf3a4f932ba3bca743a146.jpeg) And a more correct way to mix the color with the wood would be to use a Mix(value) texture based on the color and the wood texture. So you could adjust between 100% and 0% paint color. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/b/3/b3018791b3f27b2d6c88d11e529fc9512451e40c.jpeg)​​​ ---

Is the Mix (Value) option working also in V-ray for Rhino? Or is it working just in Blender? ---

Hello @vaclav_simecek , Thank you for posting your question. Apart from what Micha suggested I would like to point you out to the Coat material layer. Here you can find documentation with examples: [V-Ray for Rhino](https://docs.chaos.com/display/VRHINO/Generic+Coat) It allows for more control such as color itself, amount and reflection: ​ ![Coat_Rhinp_wood_example.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/9/e/9ef050a9636179a869c6fc8f3763b2b7960b08c2.jpeg) ---

Also answering your question: > Is the Mix (Value) option working also in V-ray for Rhino? Or is it working just in Blender?​ In V-Ray 7 for Rhino, the Simple Mix, Mix (Value), Mix (Operator) and Mix (Map) textures are no longer available. They are replaced by the Layered texture: [https://docs.chaos.com/display/VRHINO/Layered](https://docs.chaos.com/display/VRHINO/Layered) ---

@natalia_gruzdova Thank you for the simple technique that works great! Glenn
