According to the National Capital Poison Center, water-based paint can cause vomiting if eaten in large quantities. Some do contain man-made or natural pigments like cobalt or cadmium, which can be harmful to the body.
Oil-based paints contain extremely poisonous solvents and are dangerous for the body if consumed.
