The paint is on the walls. What's in the room is the solvent that has evaporated from the paint into the air. That's why it's best to open the windows and stay out of the room until the paint is dry.
Solvent is in the paint because it makes the paint runny. When the solvent evaporates the paint goes hard which is what you want it to do on the walls of course.

Edit: Yes the paint is in the room because you were inside the room when you applied the paint. Logically then the paint is in the room too.

Is this a trick question???
Of course the paint is in the room; it has dried on the walls (which are also in the room, by the way). Paint doesn't evaporate when it dries, only the moisture in the paint changes; the pigment remains (which is why your room is, more or less, the color you chose to paint it!).
Now, I have a question for you: if your paint brush falls in the room and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Do you mean all the constituents of the paint, or just the plastic coat? The carrier has evaporated and mostly dissipated after the paint dries. And the paint is not IN the room but ON the room. The walls more precisely and they are what makes it a room.

The paint is in the room just as the walls are in the room, and the light that is reflected off of the paint.

Yes, the paint...meaning the pigments suspended in the liquid...is still in the room and on the walls.

What is lost is the water which evaporates.

Good Luck!

When paint dries it doesn't disappear. Otherwise, we wouldn't bother painting, would we?

Yes, you can see it on the walls. It was green but now it's blue.
