I don't know, but the paint shop I bought it from did ask if I wanted it tinted.

Yes, the pop top surface is forgiving. I had a moment of panic when rolling on the briteside, I got little bubbles on the surface which did pop when tipped off with brush but I didn't want to tip off the entire job. But after a few minutes the bubbles popped and the paint flowed nicely so no bubble evidence remained.
