Napoleonic Blue Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
Napoleonic Blue is a deep, dramatic blue inspired by the ultramarine and cobalt pigments used throughout European decorative arts — from neoclassical interiors to bold 20th‑century design. It’s a regal, saturated blue that brings instant depth and sophistication to any piece.
How Napoleonic Blue Works in Real Homes
This colour is stunning on statement furniture, sideboards, bedside tables, and front doors. It creates a luxurious, moody backdrop that pairs beautifully with metallic accents, warm neutrals, and layered blues. Clear Wax keeps it crisp and modern, while Dark Wax adds richness and a velvety, heritage feel.
