Colour Cards

• Hand-painted with Bauwerk Limewash Paint
• A6 / 10.5 × 15 cm
• Specially selected paper

Each Colour Card is hand-painted with genuine Bauwerk Limewash Paint on a specially selected paper. As limewash responds to the absorbency of the surface and surrounding light, Colour Cards are designed for comparing colour and undertone rather than replicating exactly how the paint will appear on your wall. For a final colour check, we recommend testing with a Sample Pot on your intended surface or a test panel.

Browns

Brown limewash tones inspired by spice, bark and natural earth colours. The palette moves from lighter shades such as Thatch, Bali and Buckwheat, through dirtier browns like Tumble and Hogweed, to richer tones including Dusty, Rosewood and Ruby, finishing with darker shades such as Chestnut, Clove and Garance.

Purples

Soft purple and mauve limewash tones ranging from pale lilacs and greyed purples to deeper berry and plum shades. The range runs from pale colours such as Freesia, Arnica and Lilac, through greyed purples like Thistle, Mallow and Wisteria, to deeper berry tones including Prun, Muscat and Damson, with darker shades such as Foxglove completing the range.

Colour Card Boxes are sent by tracked and fully insured express courier. Orders usually dispatch within two business days, with tracking provided once your delivery has been booked.

Yes. Individual A6 Colour Cards can be ordered separately, whether you'd like to add another card to your collection, replace a well-used or misplaced card, or leave a card with a client.

Colour Card Boxes are available in A6 format only. If you'd like to experience a shortlisted colour at a larger scale, individual Large Format Colour Cards are available at A4 size.

Brown and purple sit closer together than they may initially appear. Warm browns can carry red, plum or violet undertones, while muted purples often contain brown, grey or earthy undertones. Bringing the two families together makes it easier to compare these subtle transitions and explore tonal relationships across the palette.

Brown and purple limewash colours can shift noticeably as light changes throughout the day. Warm light can bring out red, clay and earthy undertones in browns, while cooler light may make mauve, violet or grey undertones more apparent.

Move your Colour Cards around the space and view them at different times of day before making your final selection.

Brown limewash colours work particularly well alongside timber, stone, terracotta, leather and warm neutrals, while softer mauves and greyed purples can sit comfortably with stone, warm whites, muted greens and natural timber. Deeper brown, berry and plum shades can be used to create stronger contrast with lighter materials and finishes.

The loose Colour Cards make it easy to compare these relationships alongside the materials already in your space.
