Oxford Navy - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Oxford Navy is a deep, inky blue that feels like painting with velvet — rich, enveloping, and effortlessly elegant. Classic and timeless, it offers all the depth of a dark colour without the harshness of black. This is the navy that works across almost any interior style, from Hamptons and coastal to traditional and modern.

How Oxford Navy Works in Real Homes

Living near the coast, blues are always a go‑to, and Oxford Navy is one I reach for often. It’s a softer, more companionable alternative to black — bold enough to anchor a space, yet gentle enough to let other colours shine.

Red and black can be tricky together, but navy and red? Stunning. The same goes for orange: black and orange can feel Halloween‑ish, but navy and orange become rich, classic, and sophisticated.

Oxford Navy also mixes beautifully with white to create a full spectrum of tonal blues. Paired with Greek Blue, you get that classic blue‑and‑white china feel. Combine Oxford Navy, Svenska Blue, and white, and you’re instantly in that “old money Hamptons” palette — like a perfectly worn pair of Calvin Klein jeans, soft and frayed at the seams.

Creative Ways to Use Oxford Navy

Oxford Navy shines in both smooth, modern finishes and more traditional looks. It’s stunning with Old White and Louis Blue for a crisp Hamptons vibe, or layered with whites and soft blues for a relaxed coastal feel.

Metallics pair beautifully with this shade — gold, brass, and warm bronze accents elevate Oxford Navy into something regal and refined, adding a luxurious glow against the deep blue.
