Firle Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
Firle is an uplifting, fresh, zesty green — verdant, bright, and full of energy. It has an inherently spring‑like feel, bringing optimism and vibrancy to any piece. This is the kind of green that instantly enlivens a room without feeling overwhelming.
How Firle Works in Real Homes
Firle is a brilliant accent colour, especially alongside moodier greens like Olive and Chateau Grey. It adds a pop of freshness that feels intentional rather than loud. I once painted an Olive set of drawers and used Firle as a fine pinstripe border detail — the contrast was subtle but transformative, giving the whole piece a lively, modern edge.
Layer Firle with Provence and Svenska Blue to create an aged verdigris effect — soft, weathered, and beautifully vintage. It’s also stunning distressed for a romantic, bohemian look, or paired with neutrals and Barcelona Orange for a cool mid‑century modern palette.
Dark Wax works beautifully with Firle, toning down the brightness and giving it a mellow, vintage patina.
Creative Ways to Use Firle
Use Firle on small furniture, accent details, or decorative pieces where you want a burst of colour. It’s fabulous as a jewel‑tone pairing with Tyrian Plum and Scandinavian Pink, creating a rich, artistic palette full of personality.
For a more grounded look, combine Firle with earthy neutrals or deep greens. For something playful and fresh, pair it with blues and soft pastels.
