Original – Annie Sloan Satin Paint®
Colour Story
Original is a warm, gentle off‑white inspired by traditional gesso and classic antique finishes. Softer and creamier than a pure white, this timeless shade brings a welcoming warmth to interiors, creating a clean yet comforting backdrop that suits both modern and heritage‑inspired spaces.
Styling Notes
Original pairs beautifully with natural timbers, soft greys, muted greens, and vintage‑inspired décor. It’s an elegant choice for cabinetry, interior doors, and architectural details, offering subtle warmth without overpowering a room. For a cohesive, layered look, combine it with Chalk Paint™ neutrals or classic pastel tones.
