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.
Scandinavian Pink isn't part of Annie Sloan's separate Wall Paint line. If you want its dusty, clay-toned warmth on a wall rather than a piece of furniture, any paint store can color-match a sample chip into a standard wall-paint formula.
Because this color sits right at the edge between brown and pink, it's especially worth testing an actual sample patch on your wall in real daylight before committing a full room — a slight shift in the match can push it noticeably more pink or more brown than the furniture version you started from.

Scandinavian Pink: A Brown With a Deceptive Name
Scandinavian Pink (#C67969, LRV 27) is the only color Annie Sloan files in the brown family, and like Duck Egg Blue in the greens, its name undersells its actual hue. In person it reads as a dusty, muted terracotta-brown with a warm pink cast running through it — closer to weathered clay or a faded brick than to any conventional pink. At LRV 27 it's a genuine mid-to-low tone, with real depth rather than a pale blush.
The name points to its origin: it's inspired by the soft, sun-faded pinks and clays seen on old Scandinavian buildings and furniture, which is exactly the muted, historic character the color delivers.
Using This Color on Furniture
Scandinavian Pink works best on pieces where you want warmth without going fully into the orange or red families — a dresser, a small hutch, or a set of dining chairs where its dusty, clay-like quality reads as sophisticated rather than sweet. It pairs naturally with Annie Sloan's neutral family, especially Old Ochre and French Linen, and with the grays, where its warmth balances a cooler gray nicely.
Because it's a single, distinctive color rather than one of several similar options, it tends to get chosen deliberately for a specific piece rather than as a default — think of it as this deck's answer to a warm, dusty clay tone rather than a general-purpose color.
Wax and Finish on Scandinavian Pink
Dark wax deepens Scandinavian Pink into a richer, more antique terracotta, pulling it further from "pink" and closer to a genuinely aged clay tone — a strong option if you want the color to read as historic rather than soft. Clear wax keeps more of its original dusty-pink warmth intact, which suits a piece meant to feel gentle rather than weathered.
For furniture that gets handled often, lacquer holds the color's warm tone more consistently over time than wax and gives a tougher, more washable surface, which is worth considering for anything like a kitchen piece or a well-used tabletop.
The Questions Everyone Asks

Its color measurement (#C67969, LRV 27) reads as a dusty, muted terracotta-brown with a warm pink cast, closer to weathered clay or faded brick than to a true pink. Like several Annie Sloan names, it describes a feeling or reference more than a strict, literal hue.

what does scandinavian pink pair well with?
It pairs naturally with Annie Sloan's neutral family, especially Old Ochre and French Linen, and it can balance a cooler gray like Chicago Grey nicely, since its warmth offsets a gray's neutrality without clashing.
