What happens here

To custom-color the caulk, prepare your chosen colorant based on the desired outcome. For matching painted surfaces like siding, use latex paint (often referred to as "touch-up paint" that accompanies the siding). For creating a semi-transparent effect, typically on wood or cabinetry, use a water-based stain. It is crucial to avoid oil-based stains, as they are incompatible with the caulk. Once the colorant is selected, inject or add a small, precise amount directly into the clear caulk cartridge. For semi-transparent stains, a recommended quantity is approximately 10 to 15 milliliters.
