All 3 Annie Sloan blue paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from Annie Sloan's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
None of these three blues are part of Annie Sloan's Wall Paint line. If you want Giverny's vibrancy, Greek Blue's calm, or Napoleonic Blue's depth on a wall instead of a piece of furniture, any paint store can color-match a sample chip into a standard wall-paint formula.
Blues can shift noticeably between formulas depending on how much green or gray is mixed into the tint, so get an actual sample pot and look at it on your wall in both daylight and evening light — a color-matched blue that looks right at noon can read quite differently under warm interior bulbs at night.
Annie Sloan Blues by Room
Each room page shows blue picks from every US brand side by side — Annie Sloan included — so you can compare in context.
Giverny works well on a piece meant to be a genuine focal point — a single chair, a small cabinet, a front door — since its saturation carries real presence even at a mid-LRV of 22. Greek Blue is the more versatile, whole-piece choice: a dresser, a hutch, a set of chairs, anywhere you want blue without it dominating the room, and it pairs easily with the neutral and gray families.
Napoleonic Blue functions like a softer alternative to a true black or navy — it's dark enough to anchor a room but has enough blue in it to feel warmer and less severe than Oxford Navy. It's a strong pick for kitchen island cabinetry or a large statement piece that needs weight without going fully black.

Three Blues, From Vivid to Deep Navy
Annie Sloan's blue family covers real range in just three colors. Giverny (#018DB0, LRV 22) is the most vivid of the three, a saturated teal-leaning blue named for Monet's garden and pond — it's the closest thing in this family to a true, bright blue. Greek Blue (#6A88A2, LRV 23) is softer and dustier, a muted mid-tone blue that reads as calm rather than bold. Napoleonic Blue (#2E3C5F, LRV 5) is the deepest of the three, a dark, dense navy that reads almost as a blue-black in low light.
Giverny and Greek Blue share almost the same LRV (22 and 23), but they look quite different in person — Giverny is far more saturated, while Greek Blue is closer to a grayed-down denim.
Wax and Finish Choices
Dark wax pushes Giverny toward a deeper, more subdued teal-blue, taming some of its vibrancy — worth testing if you love the color but want it slightly less bold in a finished room. On Greek Blue, dark wax adds an aged, denim-like richness that suits farmhouse or cottage-style furniture particularly well. On Napoleonic Blue, dark wax deepens an already-dark color further, similar to its effect on the darkest neutrals, and is best reserved for recessed detail rather than the whole piece.
For any of the three on high-contact furniture, lacquer holds color truer over time and gives a tougher, more washable surface than wax alone.
The Questions Everyone Asks
how many blue colors does annie sloan have?
Three: Giverny, Greek Blue, and Napoleonic Blue. They range from Giverny's vivid, saturated teal-blue to Greek Blue's dusty mid-tone to Napoleonic Blue's deep, dense navy, so there's real variety despite the small count.
which annie sloan blue is the brightest?
Giverny is the most saturated and vivid of the three, though at LRV 22 it's still a mid-tone rather than a pale, pastel blue. Greek Blue sits at a nearly identical LRV of 23 but reads much softer and grayer in person.
is napoleonic blue basically a navy black?
It's close — at LRV 5, it's a dark, dense navy that can read almost blue-black in low light. It's warmer and less severe than Oxford Navy, though, making it a good option for anyone who wants a dark anchor color without going fully black.
what colors pair well with greek blue?
Greek Blue's dusty, grayed character pairs naturally with Annie Sloan's gray family, especially Chicago Grey, and with softer neutrals like French Linen. Its muted tone also plays well against warmer accents like Old Ochre or Versailles for balance.
can i get these blues color-matched for a wall?
Yes, any paint store can match a sample chip of Giverny, Greek Blue, or Napoleonic Blue into a standard wall-paint formula. Blues shift more than neutrals between different brands' tint bases, so test a real sample on your wall in different lighting before painting the room.
