Choosing the Ideal Color of Limewash Paint for Your Project

How to Find the Perfect Shade of Limewash Paint?

Choosing the ideal color of limewash paint requires considering several factors. One of the most significant is the impact of light on color perception. Limewash paint, with its light-reflecting properties, appears differently than traditional paints, adding unique character and depth. Differences in color perception can be particularly noticeable depending on the lighting, making the color look different in person than on a computer screen or in a catalog.

Methods for Choosing the Perfect Color

To make selecting the perfect shade easier, we suggest a few tried-and-true methods:

ZUBRA Color Cards

Our ZUBRA Color Cards are the first step toward finding the ideal shade. These hand-painted cards, measuring 10.5 cm x 15 cm, provide a realistic representation of how the paint will look on your wall. It is important to hold the card vertically against the wall, as this can affect the color perception. Many people decide to purchase paint after finding the perfect shade using this tool.

ZUBRA Paint Samples

To accurately see how a chosen color will appear on your wall in specific lighting conditions, we recommend using our 250 ml paint samples. These samples allow you to apply the paint directly to the desired surface, making it an ideal way to test the color. Our application guide provides practical tips for painting samples.

Color Consultation

We also offer professional color consultations tailored to each customer’s individual needs. Whether you need a quick piece of advice or comprehensive support in choosing colors, our consultation packages will help you make the best decision. Consultations are conducted via email or WhatsApp video call, depending on the selected package.

When to Use ZUBRA Paint Samples?

Deciding on a paint color can be a crucial moment in your painting project. ZUBRA paint samples, available in 250 ml containers, are not only a practical tool for smaller projects but also an essential part of the decision-making process for selecting the right shade. Here are situations when it is worth considering ordering a sample:

Ideal Uses for Paint Samples

• Comparing Similar Shades: If you are torn between two similar colors, a sample allows you to directly compare them on the chosen surface.
• Testing Color in Real Conditions: To see how the color will look in the place of future application, in lighting and context of the surroundings.
• Accurate Estimation of Paint Consumption: A sample helps determine how much paint will be needed to cover a specific surface.
• Color Matching: If you need to perfectly match the paint color to existing decorative elements.
• Executing Artistic Projects: Samples are ideal for creating murals or other creative projects requiring smaller amounts of paint.
• Experimenting with Colors: Samples allow for freely testing different colors and effects without the need to invest in full-sized containers.

When a Paint Sample is Not Needed

• Confidence in Color Choice: If you have already chosen a color and are sure of your decision.
• Acceptance of Minor Color Differences: Small shade changes do not negatively impact the final project outcome.
• Reordering a Known Color: If you are ordering paint that you have previously used and are satisfied with the result.

Are ZUBRA Color Samples Made from Authentic Limewash Paint?

Absolutely, each ZUBRA limewash color sample is ready to use and made with original limewash paint. This ensures not only color fidelity but also allows for experiencing the quality and final effect offered by this unique paint. It is worth noting that ZUBRA ensures every sample is a faithful representation of the full-sized product, allowing customers to plan their interiors with full awareness of the effect that can be achieved using limewash paints.

Does the Color of Limewash Paint in the Sample Accurately Reflect the Effect I Will Achieve on the Wall?

Yes, the color presented in the limewash paint sample is true to life, provided it is applied to a surface with similar properties to those you plan to paint. Using a sample allows you to test the color on different walls in your home that may be exposed to varying light intensities. In the attached image, you can see how significantly the same shade of paint can differ depending on the amount of light falling on it.

It should be noted that limewash paint appears darker on the wall before it dries. Only after drying does the shade become lighter and reach its final intended color. It is recommended to allow each applied layer of paint to dry for at least an hour (depending on weather conditions, this time may be longer), enabling an accurate assessment of the color. This method allows for obtaining a precise impression of how the final effect will look in different lighting conditions, which is crucial for accurately selecting a shade for your interior.

Why Do Colors Appear Different in Online Photos, in Liquid Form, and on My Wall?

The difference in color perception mainly results from the impact of light on how we see them, which can explain why the color looks different in reality compared to an image on a computer screen or a photo. This effect is particularly noticeable with limewash paints, characterized by their unique ability to reflect light, contributing to their distinctive charm.

In the container, limewash paint may seem significantly darker in its liquid form. However, after applying it to the wall and allowing it to dry properly, the color becomes lighter, achieving the final intended shade.

We encourage using our color samples, which provide a faithful representation of the color on the chosen surface and in the specific lighting conditions where the paint will be used. Additionally, we offer professional color advice to assist in making the best color choices for your interior, allowing for a better understanding of how the chosen color will look in different circumstances.
