Paint legend Annie Sloan CBE has announced five new Chalk Paint™ colours to celebrate 35 years since she invented her revolutionary furniture paint.

The collection includes two colours the colour expert has wanted to bring out in Chalk Paint for a long time – dramatic reddish-purple Tyrian Plum and Canvas, a perfect warm neutral – together with three new shades inspired by travel and art history: barely-there blush-toned Rococo White, soft muted Jaipur Pink and bold and bright Sandalwood Red.

Tyrian Plum is a wonderfully sophisticated earthy dark reddish-purple colour with real warmth and depth.

Canvas is a putty-tinted beige, named after the colour you will find on a painter’s canvas. A perfect neutral.

Jaipur Pink is a dusty earthy pink with a softness to it. It has the look of traditional plaster – slightly muted with a timeless olde-world quality. 

Rococo White is the softest white with a touch of Antionette to give it just a hint of pink. It is a pretty neutral white that’s delicate and pretty.

Sandalwood Red is a bright, lively colour that sits somewhere between pink and red. It’s a strong dramatic shade of coral. 

Easy to use and quick to dry, Chalk Paint is a simple way to transform furniture, floors and walls. It works on wood, metal, laminate, concrete, indoors and outdoors and can be used to create a variety of different decorative paint effects. 

These five colours work beautifully together because they all have warm undertones. I have always been obsessed with pinks from around the world – from the bold colours of Mexico to the dusty tones of India through the soft pretty pastels of Scandinavia. Use the brights in this collection to add an eye-catching pop of colour or use the neutrals for a sophisticated elegant look.” Annie Sloan
