unpainted

Lacking any color

Unpainted describes something that has no paint on it—either because it was never painted or because paint has been removed: unpainted wooden furniture, the unpainted side of the fence.

The word often implies a raw, natural, or unfinished state: She preferred the unpainted look of bare plaster.
