Planning a session with emulsion paint (the stuff you paint interior walls with - is this called something different in the US?). I'm planning to throw away the clothes we use, and I'm happy I can wash it off skin, loosening it with some alcohol gel if its dried. My experience when I've occasionally got this sort of paint on hair when decorating is that its hard to remove from hair, so maybe we'll just try to keep it off our hair. But I did just wonder if i was missing anything that would make it easier to remove from hair if we do get it on it, either by accident or deliberately!
I went to sleep once with emulsion paints still in my hair
matt finish comes off no problem, kinda chalky but silk finishes dry with a weird plastic texture
guess which one I allowed to dry in my hair? lol
I covered my hair in conditioner, put on a shower cap, left it on for an hour or so then combed it out - the paint absorbed the liquid and became a squishy texture, easy to remove with comb
(In the US wall paint is often referred to as 'acrylic paint')
Water soluble paints are generally fine and as long as they don't dry/cure you won't have any problems. In the UK most emulsions are traditionally vinyl based which, when dry, will not dissolve, but will soften enough to remove with very hot water.
The most advisable type (available in white and magnolia) is known as 'contract Matt' or 'Supercover' which is designed as a primer for new plaster. It's very pigment rich and dries but never cures and remains chalky and water soluble.
Most types of paint are available in a water borne versions these days in order to comply with the environmental volatile organic compounds (VOC) regulations (wood and metal paints). By all means have a punt with these paints at your own risk!
Don't use oil based architectural paint under any circumstances - unless you're an absolute lunatic. There are, however, safe types of oil you can use with coloured pigments and metallic powders like Mehron.
With all house paints you'll need lots and lots of water the more pigment intense they are.

I did that when I was like 8 and while I wasn't the best at cleaning, I'll still never do it again. Not only was it not that fun because of how watery it was, the fumes could gag you. I'd highly recommend buying tempera craft paint rather than wall paint. The staining in my skin was quite bad from the wall paint and the combination of the fumes and the nature of the paint made it extremely unenjoyable and terrible to clean. there was paint splatters permanently on the floor in my house after that.
Love you, too
