If paint is to be spread about, you can guarantee that it will be red. And a little bit goes such a long way!!!! Over the years I have spilt red silk dye, red acrylic, red poster paint, red screen printing paint. Nothing else, just red!

Lift all you can with a knife, then mist paint with turps, don't rub yet. Just keep blotting with clean paper towels and misting as it gets less and less. Then put neat liquid soap, (clear washing up detergent) on and rub in well, no water at this stage. Blot that off with more paper towels and eventually it should come out. I have found that once you put water on it, the soap doesn't work any more. Once the colour is gone, then you can wet it to remove the soap. ( or let it dry and spot clean and vacuum.
