Default How to colour filler?

Is there a good way to colour or to tint the filler itself to make it

mix the filler with coloured emulsion.

I didn't paint the tiles originally so I don't have the gloss paint.

What is the best way to sort this out?


You could use one of the pigments available for colouring limewash. Look up
"lime putty suppliers" on Google and one of them should have it, or perhaps
Anna Kettle can point you towards a source.

Could you not fill and then repaint the whole sill a different colour?
