A lid member for an original container of a liquid paint component. The lid member is usable with a system for dispensing the paint component from its original container into a paint receptacle according to a paint formula to form a liquid paint mixture. The lid member includes a base portion that is adapted to releasably engage an open top of the paint component container. The base portion has a pour spout through which the paint component can be dispensed and a movable cover element. The cover element is movable between a closed state, wherein the cover element covers the pour spout and the liquid paint component is prevented from being dispensed, and an opened state, wherein the pour spout is uncovered and the paint component can be dispensed from its original container and into the paint receptacle. An operating arrangement on the cover element is releasably engagable by an operating device of the dispensing system that moves the cover element between its closed and opened states. An alignment mechanism on the lid member aligns the paint component, while a latching arrangement of the lid member releasably secures the paint component container to the dispensing system.
