Blue Limewash Colors

Blues from soft French gray-blues to deep indigo, in a suede-like, flat-matte limewash. Try Blu Notte for a moody study, or Marinia and Onde for something lighter.


About blue limewash

Blue limewash runs from whisper-soft morning-mist tones and classic French gray-blues to deep indigo and midnight slate. As the lime cures it forms a suede-like finish that diffuses light, so even deep blues read soft rather than heavy, and the subtle mottling recalls aged plaster or stone.

Made with lime and natural mineral pigments: zero-VOC, with no synthetic binders, breathable on masonry and plaster, and made in the USA.

Colors to try & pair

Try deep Blu Notte for a moody study or bedroom, or coastal shades like Marinia and Onde for a lighter feel.

Sample first. Limewash dries much lighter than it looks wet, so test a sample jar or hand-painted sample card in your own light before you buy. See all color samples.

Prep, coats & finishing

Bare brick, stone, stucco and plaster take limewash directly. Drywall and painted walls need one coat of Lime-Prep Primer first; it can be painted over in about 2 hours at 70°F with moderate humidity. Brush on two coats, plus an optional third. Ideally leave 24 hours between coats, though you can recoat once the wall is dry. A gallon covers about 300 sq ft over two coats.

Mix Limewash Densifier into the final coat on walls people touch. It reduces chalking and the need for a sealer, but it doesn't make the wall wipeable. For a wipeable surface, add Matte Protective Sealer over densified limewash only: two coats, 2 hours apart, starting at least 24 hours after the final coat. Don't overbrush. It breathes rather than fully sealing, so the wall is wipeable, not washable, and highly pigmented materials can still stain it.
