Olive Limewash Paint | Green Collection

Evoke the timeless, sophisticated atmosphere of late Art Deco with Olive.

Olive is the quintessential mid-khaki, a soft and “dirty” green that perfectly captures the moody elegance of the 1940s. This nuanced shade brings a sense of history and quiet luxury to any space, making it the ideal choice for creating a vintage-inspired interior with a modern, organic twist. Its muted quality allows it to act as a sophisticated neutral, providing a rich, earthy backdrop that feels both cozy and architecturally significant.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Olive is a mineral-based finish that bonds with your walls to create a living surface. It produces a breathable, matte texture with a subtle, suede-like movement that adds a tactile soul to your home, far removed from the flat appearance of synthetic paints.

The Colour Profile

Olive sits comfortably at the heart of our green palette, offering a balanced depth that works beautifully in both natural and artificial lighting.

The Tone: A soft, mid-toned khaki with “dirty” green and earthy undertones. The Mood: Nostalgic, sophisticated, and grounded. The Comparison: If you are looking for more drama and depth, Hawthorn or Prickly Pear serve as beautiful darker counterparts. For those seeking a brighter, more vibrant touch, Broadbean offers a lighter version within this tonal family.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are meticulously crafted to support the health of your home and the beauty of your walls. Choosing Olive means selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Produced 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 creates a handcrafted look with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls possess a depth and “cloud” effect that is entirely unique.

Application & Coverage

To achieve that signature late Art Deco mood, we recommend applying Olive with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional application technique allows the khaki pigments to layer and bloom, highlighting the natural movement of the lime.

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 soft green tones of Olive respond to the specific lighting 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.
