Annie Sloan Greek Blue Chalk Paint is a warm blue without any green in it. It is a colour found throughout the Mediterranean, often faded and distressed on shutters and woodwork. It has a chalky look about it yet it is a strong positive colour.
This is a colour that looks good with clear or dark wax.The picture above shows Greek Blue over Old White with clear wax. Why not try putting dark wax on directly on to the paint as we have on this case.The look is totally different. Do remember that if you apply dark wax straight on to the paint that is where it stays.
The top of the case has had dark wax applied directly on to the paint.The front of the case has had no wax applied.Quite a difference!
If you want to make a colour paler then you can add Old White or Pure.( Old White will help make the colour vintage and Pure will make the colour more modern)
Old white will achieve a soft pale slightly aged look whereas the addition of Pure White will create a cleaner,fresher circa 1950′s finish.

What would we do without Annie Sloan Graphite Chalok Paint ? A great paint to make a blackboard with.In fact you can use all of them to that.Blackboards do not necessarily have to be black!!
Graphite is a soft black made with purplish blues and brown and is not completely black. But when waxed it becomes a beautiful black like dark slate.
You can make a warm sophisticated grey called UFFIZI, which was named after the Florentine art gallery, by adding 3 parts of Old White to 1 part of Graphite.
Alternatively add equal parts of Graphite and Old White to make a really elegant charcoal grey that is reminiscent of a Saville Row suit.

Anniçe Sloan Florence chalk paint is a colour that was originally called Persian Green but has recently been relaunched as Florence.You know as soon as you open the tin and dip your brush in that this colour is something really special.
It is inspired by the colours of the copper green mineral and semi-precious stone, malachite,from the same family of stones as azurite and turquoise. In the 17th and 18th century it was used as a colour made with verdigris but as it is a very fugitive colour turning black with time so we are not aware of how it was used on woodwork in many houses. It is a classical colour which can be found in classic Italian furniture.
When I opened a tin my first thought was Oh Yes! What a wonderful colour. Now all I need to something to paint it on!! And I wasn’t content till I found something. It goes really well when used over the top of Barcelona Orange. The two colours compliment each other really well. Try using it with something gold. Wax or gold leaf – the effect is stunning.
