Limewash

This colour celebrates John Farrow, the paint pioneer who, along with Richard Ball, first founded the company in Dorset, England.  

For a breathable finish, this historical, designer favourite is suitable for solid lime render exterior walls and interior walls and ceilings. Bonding to the building itself, it protects your home from the elements. Professional application recommended.

Complementary white: White Tie

Key features

Very matt

Very matt

A historical specialist finish for exterior walls, and interior walls and ceilings with a very flat matt 2% sheen. 

Our deeper, richer colours are available in a range of finishes with different sheen levels. Sheen always affects how colour appears: the same shade in gloss can look very different in matt. That’s why we specifically adjust the formula for every finish to make sure the balance is exactly right and you get the colour you were expecting. Our colours and finishes are formulated together, so you simply can’t have one without the other. 

For interior lime plaster and exterior lime render

For interior lime plaster and exterior lime render

Suitable for solid lime render exterior walls and interior lime plaster walls and ceilings. Professional application is recommended.  

From walls, floors and furniture to radiators, skirtings and sheds, our range of paint finishes can help you transform almost any surface in your home (and outside it, too). Browse our full selection of finishes to find the perfect paint for your project. 

Highly breathable

Limewash is designed to bond to the building itself, protecting your walls from the elements and allowing exceptional breathability.

Unique textured look

This designer favourite is known for its beautiful, textured aesthetic, which creates an utterly unique look depending on how its applied. 

100% water based

100% water based

We’re proud to have been the first in the industry to transition to a completely water based range back in 2010. As a result, all of our finishes, including our tough trim and floor paints, are made with a low-odour, low-VOC water base that scores A+ for indoor air quality. 
 
Plus, our water based paint doesn’t discolour over time like solvent based paints can. So your spaces stay beautiful for longer.

Toy safe

Toy safe

This finish is independently tested and certified toy-safe in accordance with Safety of Toys Part 3: Migration of certain elements (EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021). That means you can and a splash of colour to toys, cribs and other surfaces little ones come into contact with. Our paints also have hardly any odour and don’t need any solvents to clean up, so you can breathe easy during application and beyond.

From our high-quality ingredients to our artisanal methods, our 100% water based range of finishes and responsible practices, it's about so much more than just paint and paper.

Why Choose Farrow & Ball?

Specialist Finish

Suitable for solid lime render exterior walls and interior lime plaster walls and ceilings. 

For the sympathetic decorating of historic and traditional properties, our specialist finishes are the essential ingredients for creating an authentic look. 

 

Matt 

Modern Emulsion is a beautiful, durable matt finish with 7% sheen.

Tough and Easy-to-Clean

Our super-tough superstar for washable walls, Modern Emulsion has a high-performance formula that makes it easy to wipe away spills and marks – not paint. We use high-quality minerals and strong binders to make sure it’s also resistant to knocks and scrapes. 

Resistant to Mould

Our expert chemists add a preservative to Modern Emulsion that protects it from mould, keeping moisture-prone kitchens and bathrooms looking fresh. So, although it makes a wonderful addition to every room of your home, it’s the best finish option for these steamy spaces in particular.

Scuff and Stain Resistant

We use high-quality minerals and strong binders to make sure Modern Emulsion is stain resistant and scuff-proof. 

Highly breathable

Limewash is designed to bond to the building itself, protecting your walls from the elements and allowing exceptional breathability.

Unique textured look

This designer favourite is known for its beautiful, textured aesthetic, which creates an utterly unique look depending on how its applied.


Paint that can't be matched


Asking ‘can you match Farrow & Ball colours?’ misses everything else that goes into the tin to make our industry defining finishes. We pack our paint with quality minerals, coverage-enhancing pigments and resin (using a much higher proportion than many other brands), ensuring an exceptional base to add colour to.


100% water based
Our completely water based paint range doesn’t discolour over time like solvent based paints can. So your spaces stay beautiful for longer.


Specialist formulation
Highly breathable finishes for stone walls, period plasterwork, and other features that require extra care and attention.


Low VOC
All of our finishes, including our tough trim and floor paints, are made with a low-odour, low-VOC water base that scores A+ for indoor air quality.
