All 1 Annie Sloan yellow 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.
Tilton isn't part of Annie Sloan's separate Wall Paint line, so if you've fallen for it on a piece of furniture and want to echo it on a wall, the move is a color match. Any paint store can match a sample chip or the color name into a standard wall-paint formula — yellows and golds like this one can be trickier to match exactly than neutrals or grays, since small shifts in the mix noticeably change how warm or muted the result reads.
Get a sample pot of the matched color and look at it on your actual wall across a full day before painting a whole room, since warm yellows shift more with changing light than most other colors.

Tilton: A Single Warm Gold-Yellow
Tilton (#E3B659, LRV 51) is the only color Annie Sloan files under yellow, and it's less a lemon-bright yellow than a warm, honeyed gold — closer to old brass or turmeric than a primary-color yellow. At LRV 51 it sits in the mid-tone range, bright enough to feel cheerful but with enough depth that it doesn't read as a pastel.
Like the rest of the Chalk Paint range, Tilton has a vintage, slightly muted quality rather than the saturated, poster-paint yellow you'd find in a kids'-room color deck. It's a color built to sit comfortably next to Annie Sloan's other historic tones rather than to shout on its own.
Using a Single Yellow on Furniture
With only one yellow in the deck, Tilton tends to get used as a deliberate accent rather than a default choice — a single chair, a small side table, the inside of a hutch or cabinet where a flash of warm color shows when the doors open. Its gold undertone makes it an easy partner for the neutral family (Old Ochre, Versailles) and for the blues and teals, where it acts as a warming counterpoint to cooler tones.
Because it's a mid-LRV color rather than a pale pastel, Tilton also holds up well as a base coat under a distressed or dry-brushed finish, showing through gaps in a topcoat as a warm glow rather than disappearing into the background.
Finish and Wax on Tilton
Dark wax works well over Tilton, deepening the gold into something closer to an antique brass or aged mustard, which suits carved details or a piece meant to look like it's been in a farmhouse for decades. Clear wax keeps the color closer to its clean, honeyed state, which is the better choice if Tilton is meant to read as a bright, cheerful accent rather than an aged one.
For a piece that will see daily handling, like a small side table or the inside of a well-used cabinet, lacquer over Tilton keeps the color true and adds real wipe-down durability.
The Questions Everyone Asks
why does annie sloan only have one yellow color?
Chalk Paint's palette favors a small, curated set of colors over a large fan deck, and Tilton is the single yellow kept in that set. It's a warm, honeyed gold rather than a bright primary yellow, which fits the brand's overall vintage, muted character.
what does tilton look like on furniture?
Tilton (LRV 51) reads as a warm, mid-tone gold, closer to old brass or turmeric than a bright lemon yellow. It works well as an accent color on a single piece, or peeking through a distressed topcoat as a warm base color.
what colors pair well with tilton?
Its warm gold undertone pairs naturally with Annie Sloan's neutral family, especially Old Ochre and Versailles, and it acts as a warming counterpoint next to cooler colors like the blues and teals. It also plays well against Athenian Black for a higher-contrast piece.
should i use dark wax or clear wax over tilton?
Dark wax deepens Tilton into something closer to an antique brass or aged mustard, good for a farmhouse-style piece with carved detail. Clear wax keeps it bright and clean if you want Tilton to read as a cheerful accent rather than an aged finish.
can i get tilton color-matched into a wall paint?
Yes, any paint store can color-match Tilton from a sample chip into a standard wall-paint formula, though warm yellows and golds can shift more between formulas than neutrals do. Test a sample patch on your actual wall across a full day before painting the whole room.
