Emile Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
Emile is a soft, lilac‑mauve inspired by vintage textiles and the gentle romance of French interiors. Calm, classic, and quietly elegant, it brings a powdery warmth that feels both nostalgic and refined. Think faded lavender bundles, antique ribbons, and the softest dusk light.
How Emile Works in Real Homes
Emile is a beautifully balanced purple — subtle enough to act as a neutral, yet full of personality when paired with the right tones. It’s perfect for creating soft, romantic spaces, classic floral glamour, or gentle cottage‑style palettes.
For a fresh, uplifting look, pair Emile with Lem Lem, Henrietta, Cream, and plenty of Pure White. The combination feels floral, feminine, and timeless.
For a monochromatic palette, combine Emile with Original and Cream — soft, harmonious, and beautifully understated.
Creative Ways to Use Emile
Emile can also go moody and dramatic. Pair it with Tyrian Plum, Burgundy, and Amsterdam Green for a rich, atmospheric palette full of depth and old‑world charm.
It’s stunning on bedside tables, dressing tables, vintage mirrors, and anything with curves or carved detail. Clear Wax keeps it soft and velvety, while White Wax adds a powdery, romantic patina.
