Bone Limewash Paint | Neutral Colour Card Set
Achieve a sophisticated, modern organic atmosphere with Bone.
Bone is a highly popular warm neutral limewash paint that serves as a cornerstone for those seeking a natural, grounded aesthetic. It is particularly favored for its ability to create an organic feel that remains contemporary and clean. This specific colour is known for having very little or low visible texture, though the final appearance depends on the surface it is applied to and the angle of the light. Under certain light conditions, Bone can transition to appear noticeably greyer, adding a refined mineral depth to your walls.
As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Bone is a mineral-based finish that becomes a part of your wall. It provides a breathable, matte surface that feels soft to the touch, providing a luminous and expansive mood to any room.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?
Our paints are crafted with a commitment to both environmental health and aesthetic purity. Choosing Bone means selecting a product that is:
-
Environmentally Friendly: Produced using natural lime and earth-mined 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.
-
Refined Finish: Offers a subtle, matte quality that feels tactile and organic without heavy mottling.
Application & Coverage
To maintain the refined, low-texture look of Bone, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. While the “cloud” technique is standard, applying this specific colour in thinner, more consistent coats will help achieve the smooth, serene appearance it is known for.
Tip: Limewash is intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. Because Bone can reveal its grey side depending on the light, we always recommend a patch test to see how the colour settles in your specific environment.

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.
