Neither Arles nor Barcelona Orange is part of Annie Sloan's separate Wall Paint line. If you want either on a wall — a bold accent wall for Barcelona Orange, or a softer whole-room warmth for Arles — any paint store can color-match a chip into a standard wall-paint formula.
Oranges are one of the color families where a color match can drift more noticeably than with neutrals or grays, since the exact ratio of red to yellow in the tint shifts how warm or muted the result feels. Get a sample pot and look at it on your actual wall before committing, especially for a saturated color like Barcelona Orange.
Annie Sloan Orange, Room by Room
Each room page shows orange picks from every US brand side by side, so you can compare in context.
Arles is the more versatile of the two for whole-piece furniture — a dresser, a hutch, a set of dining chairs — because its softer, ochre-leaning tone doesn't overwhelm a room the way a true orange can. It sits comfortably next to Annie Sloan's neutrals and golds, including Old Ochre, Versailles, and Tilton, so a room with several Chalk Paint pieces can mix Arles in without it feeling like an odd one out.
Barcelona Orange works best as a statement piece: a single accent chair, a small table, or a front door or cabinet where you want real color to land. Its terracotta depth also makes it a natural pick for anyone leaning into a Southwestern or Mediterranean look, echoing the sun-baked walls and tile that inspired the name.

Two Very Different Oranges
Annie Sloan's orange family holds just two colors, and they're distinct enough that they barely read like siblings. Arles (#E3A656, LRV 44) is a muted, golden orange — closer to a warm ochre or ripe apricot than a traffic-cone orange, and it shares more visual DNA with the neutral family than with a bold accent color. Barcelona Orange (#D9823D, LRV 31) is deeper and more saturated, a genuine burnt-terracotta orange with real presence.
The 13-point LRV gap between them (44 versus 31) matches how they read in a room: Arles feels light and easy to live with broadly, while Barcelona Orange is noticeably richer and better suited to smaller, deliberate doses.
Wax and Finish on These Oranges
Dark wax over Arles pushes it toward a deeper, more antique ochre, which suits carved or farmhouse-style furniture well and keeps it in step with the rest of the neutral-leaning palette. Over Barcelona Orange, dark wax deepens the terracotta further, moving it closer to a burnt sienna — dramatic, and worth testing on a hidden spot first since the shift is more noticeable on a color this saturated.
For either color on a piece that gets handled often, like a small table or a set of chair arms, lacquer holds the color truer over time and stands up to wiping better than a waxed finish does.
Annie Sloan Orange Paint FAQ
how many orange colors does annie sloan have?
Two: Arles and Barcelona Orange. They're quite different from each other — Arles (LRV 44) is a muted, golden orange closer to ochre, while Barcelona Orange (LRV 31) is a deeper, saturated burnt-terracotta with much more presence.
which annie sloan orange is best for a whole piece of furniture?
Arles is the easier one to use broadly, since its softer, golden tone sits comfortably next to the brand's neutrals and doesn't overwhelm a room. Barcelona Orange is better reserved for a single statement piece, given how saturated and rich it reads at LRV 31.
what does barcelona orange look like in person?
It's a genuine burnt-terracotta orange, more like sun-baked clay or an aged tile roof than a bright citrus orange. At LRV 31 it has real depth, and it deepens further into a burnt-sienna tone if you add dark wax over it.
can i mix arles and barcelona orange together?
Yes — Chalk Paint colors are designed to be blended, and mixing these two would land somewhere between Arles's soft gold and Barcelona Orange's deeper terracotta. Since the two aren't far apart in hue, a small test batch is an easy way to dial in a custom in-between shade.
are these oranges available as wall paint?
Not directly — neither is part of Annie Sloan's separate Wall Paint line. A paint store can color-match either one into a standard wall-paint formula from a chip, though orange tones can shift more between formulas than neutrals, so test a sample on your wall first.
