whitewashed wall
Lime-coated vertical surface
A whitewashed wall is a wall coated with whitewash—a mixture of lime and water that dries to a bright, chalky white finish.
Whitewashing was the traditional method for brightening interiors and exteriors before modern paint became common.
The phrase appears in biblical contexts as a symbol of concealed corruption: something that looks clean on the surface but hides decay beneath.
