Amsterdam Limewash Paint | Fenton & Fenton Collection

Capture the cool, understated elegance of urban design with Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is a sophisticated pale grey limewash that serves as a versatile anchor for contemporary interiors. This hue is highly responsive to its environment; it is known to appear much greyer on the wall than it does on the Colour Card, providing a crisp and clean finish that feels both modern and architectural.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Amsterdam is a mineral-based finish that becomes part of your wall. It creates a breathable, matte surface with a subtle, suede-like movement, offering a tactile quality and visual depth that synthetic paints cannot achieve.

The Colour Profile

Amsterdam is the perfect choice for those seeking a cool-toned neutral that feels refreshing and structurally defined.

The Tone: A crisp, pale grey with clean mineral undertones. The Mood: Architectural, cooling, and serene. The Comparison: If you love this palette but require a slightly warmer touch, Mykonos is a beautiful alternative. For those seeking an even warmer, creamier finish, Raw White offers a softer version again. The Collection: This colour is a key part of our Fenton & Fenton Collection, created in cooperation with the iconic Melbourne designer furniture store to reflect their vibrant yet balanced aesthetic.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a focus on environmental purity and the health of your home. Choosing Amsterdam means selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Formulated using natural lime and earth-mined mineral pigments. Breathable: Promotes 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. Unique Finish: Each application results in a handcrafted look with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a unique soul and character.

Application & Coverage

To highlight the clean grey pigments of Amsterdam, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional “cloud” technique allows the mineral layers to bloom, creating the soft, mottled finish characteristic of traditional limewash.

Tip: Limewash is intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a lime-compatible undercoat. We always recommend a patch test to see how the cool tones of Amsterdam respond to the specific light and shadows of your 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.
