Color Atelier Unveils Limewash Paint With Sarah Sherman Samuel

Limewashed walls are all the rage right now, offering a rich matte finish and depth of texture that is unmatched in other paints or finishes. The Color Atelier is proud to partner with AD100 and designer Sarah Sherman Samuel to bring us seven distinct shades, each more inviting than the next. Environmentally friendly, artisianally crafted, and luxuriously opaque, the mineral-based paints are made in small batches in their California warehouse, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and exceptional quality. The Sarah Sherman Samuel for Color Atelier shades include White Sands, Buttercup Yellow, Sweet Berry, Desert Red, Olive You, Summer Sky, and Warm Night. Modern, reserved, and functional, letting the texture of the limewash shine, this collection elevates any space.

The seven hues span the breadth of the color wheel, offering muted options with White Sands and Warm Night, while also including natural tones such as Buttercup Yellow, Desert Red, or Summer Sky. Sophisticated yet approachable, the limewashed hues offer a muted texture at first glance, but the subtle variations of the limewash application are where the beauty lies. No application exactly the same, the texture is built through layers of paint, achieving either an opaque look or going completely solid.

Limewash paint has multiple sustainability benefits, having been used for over two thousand years. As Joe Wooten, head of product at Domingue Architectural Finishes in Houston, puts it, “It is not just a product, but a philosophy.” As designers must consider the life cycle of the products they use, limewash paint is a beautiful response to the usually toxic nature of most wall finishes. By nature, the paint is naturally-derived and contains no chemicals, making it a great choice for those with children or anyone that wants to create a healthy home. Limewash paint is exactly as described: limestone dust, water, and pigment are all that is needed to create a durable and beautiful wall covering.
