Rodmell Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®
Rodmell is a dusty damson purple inspired by the indigo‑tinted twilight tones that settle just before nightfall. It’s a sophisticated, quietly dramatic shade with real artistic pedigree — the kind of complex purple favoured by Gauguin for its depth, mystery, and emotional pull.
How Rodmell Works in Real Homes
This moody purple brings a contemplative, elegant atmosphere to furniture and interiors. It’s stunning in bedrooms, reading nooks, and creative spaces where you want a sense of calm depth. Rodmell also shines on statement pieces, adding a refined, painterly richness.
Creative Ways to Use Rodmell
- Pair with cool tones for a serene, meditative palette
- Juxtapose with warm colours for a bold, Fauvist‑inspired contrast
