Louis Blue - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Louis Blue Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Louis Blue is a cool, almost icy pastel blue with a clean, soft clarity that feels instantly uplifting. It has that gentle elegance you see in classic French and Swedish interiors — light, refined, and beautifully timeless. It’s one of those colours that brings a fresh, airy charm to a piece without ever feeling childish or overly sweet.

How Louis Blue Works in Real Homes

This is the perfect blue for contemporary Hamptons styling. Paired with Oxford Navy and Pure White, it creates a crisp, coastal palette that feels modern, breezy, and beautifully balanced. Silver gilding looks stunning with Louis Blue too, adding a refined shimmer that elevates the colour without overwhelming it.

One of my favourite pieces I’ve ever painted with Louis Blue was actually a custom mix — Louis Blue blended with Chicago Grey. The result was the most beautiful Swedish blue, soft and sophisticated. I finished it with delicate white pinstripe detailing on a classic buffet, and it became one of those pieces that people still talk about.

Creative Ways to Use Louis Blue

Louis Blue is gorgeous for smooth, clean finishes, but it also works beautifully in layered, Scandinavian-inspired looks. It’s light enough to brighten a room, yet cool enough to pair with deeper blues and greys without clashing. Whether you’re painting a nursery, a coastal side table, or a vintage dresser, Louis Blue brings a gentle elegance that never goes out of style.
