Farrow & Ball Limewash
Select your colour
Farrow & Ball Limewash is a traditional lime-based finish for walls inside and out, best on lime plaster, lime render, cob and existing limewash. It gives a soft, chalky, gently uneven look full of character. Apply 3–4 coats; colours look darker when wet. Not for cement render, gypsum plaster or brick.
