Sienna Limewash Paint | Yellow Ochre Collection
Bring the timeless, sun-soaked warmth of the earth into your home with Sienna.
Sienna is a classic, warm, yellow-based ochre that embodies the raw beauty of natural pigments. This rich, inviting tone draws inspiration from traditional earth colours, offering a golden depth that fills a room with a sense of history and organic comfort. It is an ideal choice for creating spaces that feel grounded, welcoming, and connected to the natural world.
As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Sienna is a mineral-based finish that bonds with your walls to create a living surface. It provides a breathable, matte texture that shifts with the light, offering a visual depth and a soft, suede-like feel that synthetic paints cannot replicate.
The Colour Profile
Sienna serves as a vibrant yet grounded anchor for palettes inspired by Mediterranean or rustic landscapes.
The Tone: A warm, glowing yellow ochre with deep earthy roots.
The Mood: Radiant, grounded, and timeless.
The Comparison: If you love the golden hue but need something more subtle, Balsam is a lighter version of this tone. For an even softer, paler touch, Fawn offers a lighter option again while maintaining that warm, ochre DNA.
Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?
Our limewash paints are meticulously crafted to be as healthy for your environment as they are beautiful for your walls. By choosing Sienna, you are selecting a product that is:
Environmentally Friendly: Produced using natural lime and authentic earth pigments.
Breathable: Promotes a healthy indoor climate by allowing moisture to move freely through the surface.
Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of the lime provides a natural defense against mold and mildew.
Unique Finish: Each application results in a handcrafted look with subtle tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a unique soul and character.
Application & Coverage
To bring out the full radiance of the Sienna pigment, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional “cloud” technique allows the ochre tones to layer beautifully, creating a soft, mottled effect.
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 Sienna responds to the specific light and shadows of your 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.
