Judging from your note to Liz you've already had to submit the translation and it's too late now, but although "colourable/colorable" paints are rarely mentioned, there are far more examples of "tintable". Maybe worth considering.
I don´t think so. The different parts of the text are quite disjointed and I don´t think the products are connected specifically. It's some marketing blurb about the comapny's products.
Is product A is some kind of primer for product D or is product D a tint that is added to product A to give it colour?
If it is a tint then you could say something along the lines of, "can be couloured with...", "can be tinted by using..." or "colour can be added using..."
Just a note - my actual text is not about the tintometric system. It's about another product. The text re tintometric is given just to show another usage of 'coloreable en'. That said, I'm sure my product must have the same function.

Explanation: (paint) colors can be reproduced [produced]
I propose the above answer since this is about “paints/painting” and the tintometric system is a system of reproducing colors.
http://woodcoatingcompany.com/products/color-chart.html
The 195 colors contained in this chart can be reproduced using any of the following types of ICA paints:
POLYURETHANE High and semi gloss, matt and semi matt for indoor and outdoor use.
WATER BASED Semi gloss, matt and semi matt for indoor and outdoor use.
NITROCELLULOSE High and semi gloss, matt and semi matt for indoor use.
With the tintometric ICA COLOR system all of the colors contained in this chart can be reproduced using the chosen paint mixed with specific concentrated pastes.

Hello again. I surmise that this is about being able to reproduce colors for customers from an array of color choices from a color chart. I just finished painting a few of my walls at home (different colors!) and went through the process of having the paint company reproduce my specific color choices.

Reference information: I can see why this is so tricky, I can find nothing with "colourable".
