Catkin Limewash Paint | Grey Collection

Introduce a soft, organic neutrality to your home with the understated elegance of Catkin.

Catkin is a grey-toned, natural lime paint colour designed to provide a serene and sophisticated backdrop for modern living. Drawing inspiration from the quiet hues found in nature, it offers a versatile grey that feels grounded and architectural. It is a highly responsive shade that interacts deeply with its environment; be aware that it can appear much greyer on the wall than on the Colour Card, providing a crisp, cool depth once applied.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Catkin is a mineral finish that creates a living surface. Rather than a flat coating, it produces a breathable, matte texture with a subtle, suede-like movement that adds a tactile soul to your walls.

The Colour Profile

Catkin serves as a perfect mid-point for those seeking a clean, cool-toned grey with an organic mineral base.

The Tone: A natural, cool-based grey with soft mineral undertones. The Mood: Serene, modern, and atmospheric. The Comparison: If you are looking for a brighter, airier feel, Mallorca is a beautiful lighter version. For those desiring more presence and weight, White Stag offers a darker tone, while Tweed provides an even deeper, more dramatic grey.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to both aesthetic beauty and environmental integrity. Choosing Catkin 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 resistance to mold and mildew. Unique Finish: Each application creates a handcrafted look with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls possess a depth that synthetic paints cannot achieve.

Application & Coverage

To highlight the natural grey pigments of Catkin, 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 intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a lime-compatible undercoat. Because Catkin can intensify and shift toward grey depending on the light, we always recommend a patch test to see how it develops in your specific space.

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.
