Wabi

Wabi is a Color Atelier lime paint — a soft off-white with a tiny addition of umber and black that pulls it toward pale taupe. Because it is a limewash, the colour is mottled and cloudy, moving between chalk white and warm stone across the wall.

It is beautiful in living rooms with linen, oak and unglazed ceramics, where the finish does the decorating. Color Atelier publishes no digital values; the swatch is an approximation of the finish in daylight.
