Description

Caramel Limewash Paint | Out of Africa Collection

Infuse your space with the sun-drenched, rustic warmth of Caramel.

Caramel is a warm, “dirty” beige-brown tone that captures the essence of weathered earth and golden landscapes. Part of our Out of Africa collection, this hue is inspired by the raw beauty of the savannah and the timeless aesthetic of desert dwellings. Whether you are painting an exterior in a desert climate or looking to bring an organic, grounded soul to a modern high-rise apartment, Caramel provides a sophisticated warmth that feels both ancient and contemporary.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Caramel is a mineral-based finish that bonds with your walls. It creates a breathable, matte surface with a signature suede-like texture, allowing for a natural play of light and shadow that gives your space a soulful, handcrafted feel.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with the health of your home and the planet at the forefront. When you choose Caramel, you are choosing a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable 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 makes it naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Unique Finish: Applied in thin, translucent layers, it creates a subtle “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations that add immense character to your walls.

Application & Coverage

To achieve the best results with this earthy tone, we recommend applying Caramel with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional application allows the warm pigments to layer naturally, highlighting the movement within the paint.

Tip: Limewash is best suited for absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. We always recommend a patch test to see how the warm, sandy depth of Caramel reacts to the specific lighting conditions 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.
