Hi and thanks for your question. This is absolutely Winterhaven and the mortar used in this particular job is "Federal White". You can see an up-close look at this project here too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtCH6sNiKzw&list=PL4axOr-CUeJSzSCF8tAv2HDyAULKv0lnc&index=2

Is it possible to paint or do a limestone wash on this brick in the future if needed? I’ve seen it in person and it looks pink in direct sunlight. Also is there a mortar that matches to avoid the more pinkish look?

It is not recommended to paint Winterhaven. To achieve the monochromatic look of an all-white, we recommend our Artisan brick that are made to be painted. Painting a brick that is not made to be painted can create staining issues as well as other problems. I'm happy to have someone assist in greater detail if you want to email us at info@generalshale.com
