Is paint a solution

A paint is either colloid suspension or colloid. In the paint, the pigment is dispersed in the solvent solution but they are not dissolved in it. In oil paints, the hydrocarbon oil is the binding medium which is dissolved in a solution. In Water-based paints the solvent is water.

Explanation:

The suspension is a mixture of two substances where one is dispersed in the other. Particles in suspension can be seen with the naked eyes.

Colloids are a homogeneous mixture of two or more components where particles are not visible to the naked eyes.
