Oil Composition
How does Boysen oil tinting colors differ from artists’ oil colors in terms of composition?
Also, I want to know what kind of oil is the vehicle of Boysen oil tinting colors.

They are not oil, they are alkyd. That means that, in addition to oil, there is a resin of some kind in there. I’m guessing it will be a petroleum-based vehicle, not the linseed oil in artists’ oils. If you want to know the exact composition, you’ll have to read the side of the can, or contact Boysen.
You’ve asked about this product before. Again—they are designed to tint HOUSE PAINT. It is probably a fine product when used for its intended purpose, which is to mix evenly into a gallon of house paint. If you want to use them for painting canvases, go ahead. But the Boysen people are not creating art supplies, and were probably not concerned with things like how these colors will mix on a palette, or how well they will adhere to a canvas (the house paint is supposed to do the adhering), or how lightfast or colorfast they are (housepaint isn’t meant to last forever).
If you’re determined to prove these tinting colors will perform as well as oil paint for a lot less money, no one can stop you. But it would be ethical to disclose to anyone who wants to buy your work that you used housepaint tints, not oil paint.
Personally, as a professional, I would prefer to work in a less expensive REAL medium rather than waste precious money and time experimenting with a product of such dubious quality and permanence.
