Description

Raw White Limewash Paint | Lynda Gardener Collection

Achieve a sophisticated, luminous interior with Raw White, the definitive natural neutral.

Raw White is a slightly warm neutral white limewash that offers a refined alternative to stark, synthetic whites. Developed in collaboration with renowned interior stylist Lynda Gardener, this shade captures her signature aesthetic of layered, soulful minimalism. While primarily warm, it can reveal a subtle grey undertone depending on specific lighting conditions, providing a modern edge that keeps the space feeling crisp and architectural.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Raw White is a mineral-based finish that creates a living surface. This specific colour is known for having very little to low visible texture, depending on your surface and light angles, making it ideal for those who desire a smooth, contemporary look with the benefits of natural lime.

The Colour Profile

Raw White is part of our Neutral Colour Card Set and serves as a versatile anchor for any design style.

The Tone: A slightly warm natural white with a shifting grey undertone.
The Mood: Luminous, calm, and sophisticated.
The Texture: Low-to-no visible movement for a cleaner, more uniform appearance.
The Comparison: If you require more depth, Bone is a beautiful darker version. For those seeking a richer, mid-toned neutral, Ibiza serves as a darker version again.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to environmental health and the natural beauty of mineral pigments. Choosing Raw White means selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable mineral pigments.
Breathable: Supports a healthy indoor climate by allowing moisture to move freely through the surface.
Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of natural lime provides a built-in defense against mold and mildew.
Eco-Friendly Finish: A non-synthetic coating that bonds with your walls rather than sitting on top of them.

Application & Coverage

To maintain the refined, low-texture finish of Raw White, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. While the “cloud” technique is standard for limewash, applying this specific colour in thinner, more consistent coats will help achieve the smooth appearance it is known for.

Tip: Limewash is designed for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. Because the grey undertones in Raw White can shift depending on the light, we always recommend a patch test to see how the colour settles in your specific environment.

Benefits

The benefits of a paint made exclusively from minerals + natural pigments

BAUWERK Colour Lime Wash Paints are purely mineral based. They are manufactured from calcium carbonate, the same material sea shells are made from. When you paint with it the only chemical reaction that takes place is the absorption of atmospheric CO2 to convert the lime paint back to lime stone.

We colour our Limewash with natural pigments, this makes our colours completely different, as when light hits the wall the colours look like no other.

You can safely paint your home without any fear of breathing in fumes that are harmful to you or your children. We make the paint without solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOC). Because of that, Bauwerk Lime Paint is fire proof.

The paint can be used inside or outside, even in high humidity environments, such as bathrooms. It is not film-forming, like a plastic paint; it allows walls to breathe and be part of your micro-climate inside your home.

We don't use biocides or other preservatives; our lime wash has natural anti-bacterial properties. Enjoy the emotional depth and the play of light on our colours—they react dynamically to changing light conditions.
