Linseed oil paint heritage blue

Peasant Blue (Allmogeblå) was the favorite color of Rococo and folk art, known by several names such as Dalablå, Dove Blue, and Grey-Blue. It was often used in folk art interior painting during the 18th and 19th centuries. Our Allmogeblå linseed oil paint is pre-mixed and ready to use. NOTE! The color reproduction on screen does not 100% match reality.

Gysinge's linseed oil paint is manufactured in our own factory from boiled cold-pressed linseed oil and pigments, without the addition of solvents.

The paint is semi-matte and suitable for painting both indoors and outdoors on wood, sheet metal, and iron. It adheres well to both new surfaces and old previously painted surfaces, and works in both dry and humid environments. When freshly painted, the paint is glossy but will mattify to semi-matte after a few weeks, depending on weather and substrate.

Outdoors, the surface mattifies primarily in south-facing positions where UV radiation breaks down the linseed oil, which can cause the color to lighten slightly, especially on dark shades.

Repainting is only needed after 8–15 years, depending on exposure. Linseed oil paint works equally well on new and old surfaces, and the patina that develops gives a natural and beautiful character.
