Wheat Husk
The pale that designers reach for when nothing else feels right. Wheat Husk sits in our Natural Limewash range with a warm undertone you can feel across the room, undertones of honey-straw, and a character that's deep, grainy warm wash. On site, Wheat Husk ends up most often in long corridors and landings, with open-plan reception areas a close second. It works beautifully with terracotta, brick, hand-thrown ceramics and warm timbers. It reads harvest rustic in spirit without locking the room into a single period.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Does Wheat Husk hold up in north-facing rooms?+
Yes — Wheat Husk carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The honey-straw undertone is what stops it bleaching out.
How does Wheat Husk age over time?+
Wheat Husk develops a softer, slightly more powdery character as the limewash cures over the first 2–4 weeks. After that it stays stable but takes on the patina of handling and light.
What does Wheat Husk pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Wheat Husk with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, sits naturally next to clay tile, untreated leather and warm earthy textiles.
