Original Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
Original is a warm, slightly creamy traditional white — the soft, gentle white you see on old painted furniture. It has a subtle warmth that makes it beautifully versatile, sitting comfortably between crisp Pure and the deeper, more vintage Old White.
How Original Works in Real Homes
Original is gorgeous in white‑on‑white schemes when paired with Pure, creating a layered, tonal look that feels fresh but not stark. It’s also a wonderful warm neutral for vintage, Hamptons, and French country interiors.
For a delicate, distressed French look, pair Original with Duck Egg Blue, Antoinette, or Louis Blue. For something more coastal‑vintage, combine it with Old Ochre, Old Violet, or French Linen — soft, relaxed, and quietly elegant.
Original also works beautifully with Antibes Green, especially when finished with Dark Wax for a mellow, heritage feel.
Creative Ways to Use Original
Use Original on furniture where you want a warm, gentle white that doesn’t feel too bright. It’s perfect for layering, dry‑brushing, distressing, or creating soft, chalky finishes. Clear Wax keeps it clean and classic, while Dark Wax adds age and depth.
