Description

Nullarbor Limewash Paint | Neutral Collection

Bring a sense of expansive, architectural cool to your space with Nullarbor.

Nullarbor is a sophisticated cool grey from our curated range of limewash paints. Named after the vast, open landscapes, this colour offers a crisp and clean aesthetic that feels both modern and timeless. It is a highly light-responsive shade; be aware that Nullarbor will appear as a much cooler grey once applied to the wall—especially in exterior light—compared to its appearance on the Colour Card. This makes it an exceptional choice for contemporary facades and bright, open-plan interiors.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Nullarbor is a mineral finish that creates a living, breathable surface. It provides a matte, suede-like texture that shifts with the light, offering a visual depth and tactile quality that synthetic paints cannot replicate.

The Colour Profile

Nullarbor is an ideal choice for those seeking a neutral palette that feels refreshing and structurally defined.

The Tone: A crisp, cool-toned grey with clean mineral undertones. The Mood: Architectural, cooling, and expansive. The Comparison: If you love this cool grey DNA but need a lighter touch, North is a beautiful alternative. For an even more delicate and airy feel, Moth offers a lighter version again.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to both environmental purity and aesthetic soul. When you choose Nullarbor, you are selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable mineral pigments. Breathable: Supports a healthy building environment 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 without harsh chemicals. Unique Finish: Applied in thin layers, it creates a handcrafted “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a unique depth and character.

Application & Coverage

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

Tip: Limewash is designed for absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. Because Nullarbor intensifies in cool 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.
