Get testers, then try to rub off the paint with acetone nail polish remover, if it comes off it is water-based.

What kind of paint is it?

wall paint will be water based. Only gloss/wood paint trends to be solvent based, and even then many are now water based.

plus as long as you don’t drink it, and are in a well ventilated space, it’s not a problem anyway.

It will just be wall paint for one feature wall. Thanks!

Water based ,you clean brushes and rollers with water, if it is oil based you need white spirit. The vast majority of household paints these days are water based and it would be very unusual to have wall paint that isn’t
