Green Colour Card Box
A curated collection of 53 hand-painted A6 Colour Cards, each painted with real Bauwerk Limewash Paint to reveal the depth, texture and tonal variation of our green palette.
From pale, softened shades such as Bamboo and Maidenhair to earthy Olive and Hawthorn, clearer greens such as Peppermint and Spearmint, and deeper shades including Forest and Nettle, the collection makes it easy to compare undertones and tonal relationships side by side and see how colours respond to the light and materials in your own space.
Green Limewash Paint
Green limewash can vary considerably depending on its undertone and surrounding light. Softer greens such as Sage can feel muted and understated, while Moreton Bay Fig moves into warmer, earthier territory. Clearer greens bring a fresher quality to the palette, while deeper shades such as Seaweed create a more enveloping effect.
The natural tonal variation of limewash adds further depth, allowing green to shift in character as light changes throughout the day.

Exploring Green
Use the loose Colour Cards to compare the different directions within the green palette, from soft sage and grey-green to warmer olive and khaki tones, clearer botanical greens and deeper blue-green shades.

Choosing Green Limewash Colours
BAUWERK Colours are made differently, using natural pigments sourced from around the world to create nuanced colours with subtle tonal variation. Limewash also interacts with light differently from conventional paint: its calcium carbonate base forms a crystalline mineral surface that refracts light, giving Bauwerk Limewash its characteristic depth and movement...a paint that glows like no other.
When viewing your Colour Cards, hold them vertically against the wall as this can affect how light hits the surface and therefore how you see the colour. It's best to assess your colours in the location you intend to paint. Changing light throughout the day, as well as whether the space is inside or outside, can significantly influence how a colour appears.
Once you've narrowed your selection, we recommend testing your chosen colours with Sample Pots on the intended surface or a test panel before making your final choice.
