Abstract: A paint carrying receptacle and paint carrying device for transporting a multiplicity of paints within a cohesive, compartmented arrangement while maintaining the paints separate pending their application. The receptacle has a generally planar first side wall, a generally planar second side wall, an arcing third side wall, and a bottom wall all mutually sealingly engaged to form a liquid-tight wedge of a cylinder whereby a multiplicity of similar receptacles may be juxtaposed to for a generally cylindrical receptacle arrangement. The receptacles may approximate selected wedges of a cylinder such as one-half, one-third, or one-quarter cylinders. The paint carrying device has a bottom wall, at least one side wall sealingly engaged with and extending upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom wall, and at least one irremovable and sealingly engaged dividing wall for dividing an inner volume of the device into at least two permanently separate compartments.
