dried paint
Hardened wall color
Dried paint is paint that has hardened after application, losing its liquid properties as solvents evaporate.
The phrase appears most often in warnings about timing—you can't blend into dried paint or easily remove it.
Wait until it's dried before applying the second coat.
To watch paint dry is proverbially boring, the epitome of tedium.
