Annie Sloan Arles Chalk Paint is a rich yellow
ochre with a hint of orange. When using Arles
on furniture, Annie recommends pairing it with
a cool, quiet color like Chateau Grey, Old
Ochre, Country Grey, Paris Grey. I have tried
it with Old Ochre and paris Grey and really
like it.This is possibly another candidate for
dark wax treatment.

The inspiration for this colour, which is a rich
glowing yellow, is the colour associated with
the town of Arles in the South of France. It is
a rich yellow ochre with a hint of orange juice
and with Old White added the colour is warm and
gentle. It is in our opinion a warm and
sophisticated yellow.

If you look closely at the floor in the photo
above you will notice that we also chose to
use Arles on the shop floor.

Annie Sloan Antoinette Chalk Paint.
“Old fashioned roses and the colour of old plaster. This is a soft pale pink with a hint of brown in it so the pink is not too sweet.” Like most men I am not a pink person, so I was a little hesitant about trying this colour.Subtle is how I would describe it.Certainly not an in your face true pink.Girly ? Well apparently it is a girls paint! We did some bedroom chairs with it and they looked good.We have also used it to distress back to and the subtlety of the colour shines through.It is a colour that you might just get hooked on!!

Most people seem to cringe when we open the tin of Annie Sloàan Antibes Green Chalk Paint at our workshops.Yes it is an in your face colour. We have nicknamed Kermit Green for obvious reasons.However as with a lot of the brighter colours once you start adding dark wax they take on a whole new life.
Don’t forget that adding old white to a colour produces some wonderful alternative colours. We were a little more adventurous and added French linen to Antibes to produce an incredible mint green colour !
Antibes comes to the Annie Sloan palette from two sources – the neo-classical palaces, such as the Fontainebleau Palace and in Schloss Charlottenburg in Potsdam, and from the villages around Provence where countless artists have been inspired by the colours of painted furniture, shutters and doors .
