Environment & Authenticity

The beauty and power of pure, honest, and authentic materials, and techniques.
Color Atelier Sustainable Paint Lime Wash Eco Friendly

At Color Atelier, we believe in the beauty and power of pure, honest, and authentic materials, and techniques. Our paints and plasters are natural mineral based, made with lime, clay, marble powder, sand, and beautiful natural pigments. Which is different from being a conventional low or zero VOC acrylic paint. These mineral-based paints and plasters  are absorbed into the wall allowing the walls to breathe unlike acrylic plastic paints and products.

We produce some of the most environmentally friendly paints and plasters available anywhere in the world today out of our facilities in California. Our paints and plasters are made with lime, clay, marble powder, sand, and other minerals, just 20 miles outside of our San Francisco showroom. Our local supply chain and distribution channels in New York, and California have the lowest possible environmental impact. These beautiful and durable finishes are earth friendly in production and application.

Lime Paint is simply the healthiest paint finish you can buy.
It is free of toxic chemicals. You can paint without fumes, wash-up and disposal is safe. Lime’s high pH makes it a mold and mildew resistant finish, it also means that microorganisms can’t survive, which adds an hypoallergenic quality. It is known for removing toxins, odors and harmful CO2 from interior air thus improving interior air quality. 

The natural composition of our lime plasters restores health to interiors and exteriors, while their timeless finishes add unmatched aesthetic value to every style; from traditional to contemporary.
