JH Wall Paints color guide
Charcoal Lime Wash Paint
Charcoal lime wash paint delivers deep, dramatic color with a softer edge than true black. Made from natural slaked lime and earth mineral pigments, JH charcoal limewash develops rich tonal movement as it cures, so the wall reads as a moody, textured deep grey rather than a deep black color. It is a striking choice for feature walls, fireplaces, media rooms, and bold exteriors, and pairs beautifully with wood, brass, and warm lighting. As a breathable mineral finish it works on plaster, brick, stone, and masonry, and on drywall when used with our Mineral Prime. It is zero VOC, non toxic, and naturally resists mold, giving you a dramatic finish that is still healthy for your home.
