Roman Clay vs Limewash Paints
Both Roman clay and limewash offer unique aesthetics that conventional paints can't achieve. They bring a touch of history and craftsmanship to modern spaces.
What’s the difference?
LIMEWASH
Application: Brushed on with a mortar brush
Texture: Weathered patina with subtle movement
Finish: Flat sheen (optional matte sealer)
ROMAN CLAY
Application: Troweled on with a putty knife
Texture: Low profile, plaster finish
Finish: Natural, ultra-low sheen (optional satin protective sealer)
BOTH Roman Clay and Limewash come in a variety of colors and shades.
Multiple pre-mixed color options and custom color matching available. We source a lot of our specialty paints from Portola Paints.
Which One Should You Choose?
The choice between Limewash and Roman clay ultimately depends on your style preferences and the specific needs of your space. If you love a rustic, historic look with natural patina and breathability, limewash is an excellent choice. On the other hand, if you’re aiming for a sleek, modern aesthetic with a smooth, durable finish, Roman clay might be the better option.
