Chateau Grey - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Chateau Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Chateau Grey is a beautifully muted grey‑green with a soft, relaxed feel. It has that classic French elegance you see in traditional woodwork and antique cabinetry — earthy, understated, and quietly sophisticated. It’s the kind of colour that brings calm to a space while still offering real depth and character.

How Chateau Grey Works in Real Homes

This shade is incredibly versatile. On its own, it creates a gentle, rustic elegance, but it also pairs beautifully with both warm and cool tones. One of my favourite mixes is Chateau Grey with Duck Egg — together they create the most gorgeous eucalyptus green, soft and natural.

For a true heritage look, pair Chateau Grey with Primer Red. The contrast is rich, historic, and full of old‑world charm. Dark Wax is a firm friend to Chateau Grey, giving it that warm farmhouse depth, while White Wax softens everything into a beautifully time‑worn, sun‑washed finish.

Chateau Grey also works surprisingly well in coastal schemes. Paired with Coolabah or Florence, it becomes fresh, breezy, and modern — think old boathouse timbers softened by salt air and sun.

Creative Ways to Use Chateau Grey

Chateau Grey is perfect for buffets, bedside tables, wardrobes, and vintage pieces that need a subtle lift without going too bold. It works beautifully in neutral homes, French country interiors, and spaces that lean toward natural textures like linen, timber, and stone.

Because it sits between grey and green, it’s a wonderful alternative to a standard neutral — soft enough to blend in, but interesting enough to stand out.
