Paloma Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
Paloma is a light, warm neutral with a gentle lilac‑taupe undertone — a soft, muted lavender created from a balance of purple, yellow, and white. It’s both modern and classic, a colour that emerged during the rise of sophisticated purple tones and still feels effortlessly elegant today.
How Paloma Works in Real Homes
Paloma is one of those “forgotten” colours on the colour card — subtle, understated, easy to overlook — until you paint with it. Once it’s on a piece, it becomes instantly captivating: soft, romantic, and quietly luxurious.
It works beautifully as a neutral, especially when paired with French Linen or Old White. If you want to bring out its lavender side, pair it with Tyrian Plum for a deeper, more dramatic purple story.
I once painted a cabinet in Paloma and finished it with White Wax — the result was the perfect shabby‑chic, powdery, vintage look. It’s a colour that rewards layering, soft distressing, and gentle finishes.
Creative Ways to Use Paloma
Paloma is stunning with warm, vintage‑inspired tones like Old Ochre, Jaipur Pink, and Antoinette. These combinations create a romantic, feminine palette that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Use Paloma on bedside tables, dressing tables, decorative accents, or any piece where you want a soft, elegant presence. It’s also a beautiful choice for French country, shabby chic, and modern heritage interiors.
