Annie Sloan paint colors
Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint palette is the original decorative-furniture color range — a tightly curated, mix-able set of vintage, European-feeling shades made for upcycling, not for walls.
31 of the most-spec'd colors from Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint, grouped into 11 families with hex, SKU, and LRV for every color — and cross-matched to the other US brands.
About Annie Sloan paint colors
Annie Sloan colors have a character all their own: chalky off-whites and warm neutrals, soft historic blues and grey-greens, dusty pinks, warm reds and ochres, and a handful of rich, moody darks. They read like colors pulled from an old French or English farmhouse rather than a hardware-store fan deck, and that vintage, lived-in feel is exactly why people reach for Chalk Paint to bring a tired dresser, chair, or cabinet back to life.
The palette is deliberately small and designed to be mixed. You can blend two shades to invent your own, lighten any color with white, or thin one with water for a soft wash that lets the wood grain show through. Because every color is made to sit well next to the others, it's almost impossible to land on a clashy combination — which makes this one of the most forgiving color ranges to choose from on your first furniture project.
Choosing a Annie Sloan Color
Pick the family that matches the mood you want, then remember two things that make Chalk Paint different from wall paint. First, these colors intermix freely — so if nothing is quite right, you can blend two shades or lighten one with white and still stay inside the palette's harmony. Second, this is furniture and decor paint, so judge each color on the actual piece you're painting, in the room where it'll live, rather than on a screen; the soft matte finish reads differently from a wall.
Where to Buy Annie Sloan Paint
Chalk Paint is sold ready-mixed in set colors — it is not tinted to order at a counter the way wall paint is, so what you see in the palette is exactly what comes in the tin. You buy it through Annie Sloan's network of independent, trained stockists or from the official US online store at anniesloan.com (free shipping over a spending threshold). It is not stocked at big-box stores or sold officially on Amazon, so use the brand's stockist locator to find a real shop — the in-person color advice is genuinely worth it for a first project.
Matching Annie Sloan Across Brands
If you love an Annie Sloan color but want it on a wall, click any swatch to find its closest match across the other US brands, including Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr, and Kompozit. Be honest with yourself about what that match is, though: those brands make wall paint with a different body and finish, so a cross-match gets you the color, not the soft chalky look or the upcycling formula. Use it to carry a Chalk Paint shade onto your walls, and keep the real Chalk Paint for the furniture it was built for.
