Mykonos Limewash Paint | Neutral Colour Card Set

Discover the effortless elegance of Mykonos, one of our most popular and versatile neutral limewash colours.

As a standout in our Neutral Colour Card Set, Mykonos is a pale, warm greige that perfectly captures the light, airy essence of Mediterranean architecture. It is celebrated for its incredible dynamic appearance; depending on your architecture and the time of day, it can shift beautifully from a soft, sandy warmth to a more refined, cool grey.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Mykonos is a mineral finish that provides a living, breathable skin for your walls. It avoids the flat look of modern acrylic paints, instead offering a matte, suede-like texture that feels both ancient and contemporary.

The Colour Profile

Mykonos is the ultimate “chameleon” neutral, making it an excellent choice for whole-home interiors where lighting varies from room to room.

The Tone: A pale, sophisticated greige that balances warm beige and cool grey.

The Mood: Airy, expansive, and harmoniously balanced.

The Comparison: Need more depth? Hoar Frost is its darker counterpart. For a brighter touch, try Stone. If you want to lean further into the cool spectrum, explore Quiet or Slow for a greyer finish.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to environmental purity and aesthetic excellence. When you choose Mykonos, you are choosing a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable mineral pigments.

Breathable: Allows for natural moisture regulation, keeping your indoor air fresh and healthy.

Naturally Antibacterial: High pH levels make the surface naturally resistant to mold without the use of toxic chemicals.

Unique Finish: The handcrafted application creates subtle tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a depth and soul that standard paint cannot match.

Application & Coverage

To bring out the best in the Mykonos pigment, we recommend using a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Applying the paint in a loose, cross-hatched “cloud” technique allows the light to catch the mineral crystals and highlight the colour’s natural shifts.

Tip: Limewash is designed for absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or surfaces prepared with our specialized undercoat. Because Mykonos is so dynamic, we highly recommend a patch test to see how it transforms in your specific lighting conditions.

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.
