Example of a color wash in multiple hues

A color wash is a popular technique in faux painting using paint thinned out with glaze to create a subtle wash of color over walls or other surfaces.[1]

Color washing gives a surface a translucent, watercolor appearance.[2] It can be used to add texture or accentuate natural surfaces.[3][4] It can be applied in any color of paint, generally with brushes over a solid paint color, using long sweeping strokes to meld the glaze colors together.[5]
