JH Wall Paints color guide
Olive Lime Wash Paint
Olive lime wash paint brings a warm, earthy green that feels deeply connected to the natural world. Made from natural slaked lime and earth mineral pigments, JH olive limewash settles into rich, muted yellow green tones with the soft tonal movement that gives limewash its depth. As the lime cures it blooms across the wall, creating an organic, hand finished look that pairs beautifully with raw wood, terracotta, leather, and natural stone. Olive suits living rooms, kitchens, studies, and exteriors where you want a grounded, nature inspired feel without a bright or sharp green. 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.
