It has an attractive chalky, matt appearance but is easily rubbed off onto clothes. It is porous which was particularly important as walls were covered with lime plaster. Walls would often be damp and it was necessary for them to be able to breathe, to aid the drying process. Like most paints limewash is darker when wet, this creates shading to the walls as the colour changes in damper areas. Another characteristic of limewash is that it has anti-bacterial properties and is a deterrent to insects, this was particularly important in early timber-framed buildings.
