Our Colour Cards are painted on a special paper for easy handling. Please keep in mind that limewash paint always seeks to bond to an absorbent surface. Differences in absorbency influence the intensity of the final colour and the specific and changing light conditions also create a very dynamic colour appearance.

That makes selecting our colours so exciting, but also not a process where you can tick a box and get the exact colour you saw on the colour card or a picture.

The Sunset Tones Colour Card Box Set is designed for architects, designers, studios, and home renovators. Ideal for:

• Comparing pink, red, yellow and orange toned limewash paint
• Testing colours against real surfaces and materials
• Supporting client presentations and in-studio colour selection

The Sunset Tones

this curated colour palette gathers Bauwerk’s warmest limewash colours, sun-baked oranges, terracotta reds, blossom pinks and golden ochres.

Oranges

Terracotta and clay-toned orange limewash colours with a sun-baked character. The palette moves from the pale dusty peach-brown of Desert Fig and apricot shades such as Raffia, through clear oranges like Calendula, Turmeric and Carrot, to deeper tones including Casa, Grevillea and Paprika.

Reds

Rich red limewash tones that lean toward historic pigment colours rather than bright primary red. The range runs from clear reds such as Japonica and Love Apples, through warmer shades like Grenadine and Henna, to deeper wine and brown-red tones including Bloodwood, Ground and Carmin.

Pinks

Soft pink limewash tones that sit between delicate blossom colours and warmer hues. Starting with pale shades such as Alabaster, Almond Blossom and Magnolia, the palette moves through warm blush tones like Sweetpea, Malibu and Rosehip, before deepening into richer pinks such as Peony, Pasadena and Dog Rose.

Yellows

Golden yellow limewash tones inspired by grains, straw and sunlit landscapes. The palette moves from pale buttery shades such as Butter and Maize, through warmer golden hues like Daffodil, Mimosa and Corn, to deeper ochre tones including Topaz and Sandalwood.

Bauwerk sunset tones are built from specially selected pigment powders, not industrial tints, which gives them warmth, depth, and a softer mineral character. This allows pinks, terracottas, ochres, and reds to feel radiant and full-bodied without becoming hard or overly artificial. The colours hold richness, but still retain the tonal movement and subtlety that make them comfortable to live with.

Because Bauwerk uses pigment powders only, sunset shades develop with more variation and natural complexity than many standard paint colours. Rather than appearing flat or purely decorative, these tones can feel layered, atmospheric, and responsive to light. This makes them especially useful for projects that want warmth and colour presence with a more natural finish.

The natural qualities of Bauwerk pigments help warm shades relate to one another in a harmonious way. Soft pinks, ochres, terracottas, and deeper reds can sit side by side without becoming jarring, creating colour palettes that feel balanced, nuanced, and emotionally warm. This is part of what gives Bauwerk limewash its reputation for creating inviting and characterful backdrops.

The Bauwerk palette is intentionally selective. We do not offer colours that rely on pigments we consider harmful, including cadmium-based pigments often used for certain very bright yellows and reds. Instead, we focus on colours made with responsibly sourced pigments that are UV-stable, completely lightfast, and non-flammable, helping create a palette that is both beautiful and thoughtfully made.
