Neutral + White Colour Card Box
A curated collection of 64 hand-painted A6 Colour Cards, each painted with real Bauwerk Limewash Paint to reveal the depth, texture and tonal variation of our neutral and white palette.
From clean whites and pale shades such as Whitewash, Chalk and Stone to soft neutrals including Bone and Mykonos, the palette moves into warmer, earthier tones such as Barleycorn and Bullrush. The collection makes it easy to compare subtle undertones and tonal relationships side by side and see how colours respond to the light and materials in your own space.
Neutral and White Limewash Paint
Neutral and white limewash colours can vary considerably in undertone, from clean and pale to greyed, stone-like, sandy and warmer earthy neutrals. The natural tonal variation of limewash is more subtle in the palest whites, becoming increasingly visible as colours deepen.
Colours such as Eggshell sit at the paler end of the palette, while Quiet introduces subtle grey and stone undertones. Warmer neutrals such as Rice, Calico and Linen move into softer sand and straw tones.
Exploring Neutral + White
Use the loose Colour Cards to compare subtle differences in tone and undertone, explore combinations and see how the palette sits alongside the materials already in your space. Move them around the room and view them in changing light to see how each colour responds throughout the day.

Choosing 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.
