Hoar Frost Limewash Paint | Neutral Colour Card Set
Achieve a soft, ethereal atmosphere with Hoar Frost, a standout favorite in our pale neutral collection.
Hoar Frost is a pale, warm grey that embodies a quiet, sophisticated beauty. As one of our most beloved pale neutrals, it offers a delicate balance of tone that brings a light-filled serenity to any interior. This colour is remarkably light-responsive; depending on the time of day and the specific light sources in your room, it can transition to appear noticeably warmer. This subtle shifting quality ensures your walls feel dynamic and living rather than static.
As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Hoar Frost is a mineral finish that integrates with your walls. It provides a breathable, matte texture with a soft, suede-like movement, offering a visual depth and tactile soul that synthetic paints cannot replicate.
The Colour Profile
Hoar Frost is part of our Neutral Colour Card Set and serves as an ideal foundation for a calm, airy home.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?
Our paints are crafted with a commitment to both aesthetic purity and the health of your living environment. Choosing Hoar Frost 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.
-
Unique Finish: Each application results in a handcrafted “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a unique depth and character.
Application & Coverage
To highlight the soft, tonal shifts of Hoar Frost, 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 designed for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. Because Hoar Frost can shift in warmth 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.
