paint bucket

Holds wall coating

A paint bucket is a container for holding paint, typically a cylindrical pail with a handle.

In image editing software, the paint bucket is a tool that fills an enclosed area with a solid color or pattern: I used the paint bucket to change the background to blue.

The digital tool takes its name and icon from the physical container.
