OxiGen Limewash Color
The same lime-based formula and performance as Limewash White, in a selection of shades from the Harmony color chart, colored only with light-stable mineral pigments. For a more pronounced limewash effect, apply a first coat of Primer Plus. Due to its mineral nature, the final tone may vary slightly from the sample.
- Colored only with light-stable mineral pigments
- The soft, cloud-like depth only real lime gives
- Pair with Primer Plus for a more pronounced limewash effect
- Same breathability and adhesion as Limewash White

Questions
How much will I need?
Coverage: 365–445 sq ft/gal per coat. Two coats recommended (three on exposed exterior walls). Use the project calculator on this page — it rounds up to full containers.
Can I put it over my painted walls?
Not over latex or other film-forming paint: lime needs a mineral surface to bond with, so that paint has to come off first. Over bare plaster, concrete, stucco or matte mineral paint, it goes straight on; drywall and brick take a coat of Primer L44 first. Tell us what's on your wall and we'll spec it.
Does limewash rub off? Is it washable?
A little chalk while it cures is normal; heavy dusting means it went over a sealed surface or on too thick. Once fully cured (30 days), OxiGen™ Limewash offers Class 1 scrub resistance, the durability expected for modern spaces.
Do I need anything else?
Only the primer your surface needs: pick your surface under How it works and we'll show the one primer it needs, if any. Primer Plus: required — for the Cloud Effect: one base coat of Primer Plus on the prepared wall. TerraGen™ PU Water-Repellent: recommended in wet areas — bathrooms and kitchens (it reduces breathability). Not sure? Tell us what's on your wall and we'll help you choose.
Where can I use it?
Interior and exterior. Concrete, Cement stucco, Plaster, Gypsum, Brick, Mineral substrates.
What's the recoat time?
2–4 h / 24 h / 30 days (at 77 °F and 60% RH; cold or humid conditions extend it).
How long does an unopened pail keep?
18 months in the original, sealed container.
