Classico Limewash is a fully opaque, flat finish lime paint that will completely cover the surface when it has not been distressed or washed off. It will not turn red brick pink or other brick colors a lighter shade like a stain or other paints might do. The color you choose for Classico Limewash is the color that shows on the brick or stone.
Then, it is up to you how much of the brick or stone you want to expose when distressing. Over time, Classico Limewash will age and wear off based on weather exposure. When it is painted on it will appear darker and then dry to a lighter color, but it does not alter the color of the brick or stone. The ways and degree to which the limewash ages and patinas is much like nature, beautiful and unique.
