Barcelona Orange - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Barcelona Orange Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Barcelona Orange is a vibrant, joyful orange that feels bold yet beautifully natural. It’s a colour that brings instant warmth and energy to a space — a true statement shade in large amounts, but surprisingly soft and balanced when paired with neutrals like Country Grey or Old White. It’s sunshine in a tin, ready to brighten any project.

How Barcelona Orange Works in Real Homes

Because it sits opposite blue on the colour wheel, Barcelona Orange is incredible for making your favourite blues feel even more alive. As an accent, it lifts Provence and Louis Blue into something playful and fresh, and for a more sophisticated palette, it pairs beautifully with Oxford Navy. It’s also a fantastic mixer: blend it with Capri Pink for a rich burnt orange, or with Old White for soft, peachy tones that feel warm and inviting.

Barcelona Orange is wonderful for creative detailing too. Used as a stencil colour over blue, it creates a fun, artistic contrast that feels modern and full of personality. And if you want something moodier, finishing with Black Wax gives it an industrial, lacquered edge that adds depth and drama.

Creative Ways to Use Barcelona Orange

This colour shines in both contemporary and vintage settings. It’s perfect for feature accents, children’s rooms, boho interiors, or anywhere you want a burst of warmth and joy. Even in small touches, it brings life to a room and complements a surprising range of palettes.
