Vasari triples lime plaster and paint color line to 180

Vasari Lime Plaster & Paint has expanded its color palette from 60 to 180 shades, with the new lineup available now across all of its lime paint and plaster finishes. The move gives architects, designers and applicators more options while keeping the company’s natural mineral-based formulas intact.

Why it matters: - The expansion gives specifiers three times as many color choices without changing the mineral-based materials behind Vasari’s finishes. - Every shade is now available across Lime Paint, Veneziano, Marmorino and Carrera, making it easier to coordinate color across different textures and sheen levels. - The broader palette could reduce the need to compromise between color, finish and surface character.

What happened: - Vasari Lime Plaster & Paint expanded its color line from 60 colors to 180. - The new palette is available now. - The company rebuilt the palette rather than reissuing the previous chart. - The palette was developed from the same materials Vasari has used since the company began: slaked lime, powdered marble and fine limestone aggregates.

The details: - The new color range includes whites and off-whites, beiges and umbers, greys through charcoal, lavenders, greens, blues, golds, corals, reds and terracottas. - Lime Paint is a fine-texture mineral paint that goes on matte or brushes to a soft sheen. - Veneziano is a fine-texture plaster that polishes high. - Marmorino is a medium-texture plaster with a moderate to soft sheen. - Carrera is a coarse-texture plaster with a low to matte sheen. - Each finish carries a different texture and light response, so the same color reads differently depending on trowel technique and mineral variation. - Samples, sample sets and fan decks are available for the new palette. - The full palette can be seen in person at Vasari showrooms in Ventura, New York and Los Angeles. - The Ventura showroom is at 115 N Olive St. and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST, with appointments recommended. - The New York showroom is at 260 Mott Street. - The Los Angeles showroom is at 919 N La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Between the lines: - Vasari is emphasizing compatibility across its finish line, not just a larger color chart. - The product line is built around natural lime-based coatings, which positions the expansion as a materials-and-craft story rather than a cosmetic refresh. - Founder and president Alex Conrad said the larger range is meant to give architects, designers and applicators more options without giving up what makes a mineral finish worth specifying.

What's next: - Vasari will continue offering the expanded palette through its showrooms and sample materials. - Architects, designers, applicators and homeowners can evaluate the colors in person before specifying or purchasing. - The company’s wider color system may shape future interior and exterior projects using mineral finishes.

The bottom line: - Vasari has turned a 60-color line into a 180-color system, and every shade now spans the company’s core lime paint and plaster finishes.
