Creating “Greige” Colors using Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan

Posted on 02/02/2018 by Tricia

Many bloggers state, “Greige Could be the Best Neutral Color Ever” So, if you follow us on our Facebook LIVE videos (which are saved on our Facebook page for you to watxh anytime you want)…..then you saw Courtney and Trish playing around with some Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan color combinations to create “beige’s.”

Please feel free to save these to your Pinterest boards!!!!

When we mix colors and we say “mix one part of “X” to two parts of “Y” The “part” references to a unit of measure. That unit of measure is dependent on the size of your project. So, for example, it could be one tablespoon Coco and one tablespoon French Linen. OR, it could mean – one cup Coco and one cup French Linen. Just keep the unit of easure of your choice…consistent!

Here are the results:

Coco and French Linen mixed with equal parts (meaning one to one)

Coco and Graphite mixed two parts of Coco and one part Graphite:

Four parts Coco to One part Graphite

Three parts Country Grey to One part French Linen

Old Ochre, Old White and French Linen– equal parts of all of them mixed together:

Making “Brown” with Chalk Paint®

Posted on 05/18/2015 by Tricia

We have had a lot people asking for a “brown” when it comes to Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan.

Annie has a color called Coco in her suite of 32 colors, but Coco is more like a latte. It is similar to Annie’s color French Linen, but is more brown or chocolaty versus French Linen – which has a bit of grey to it. Coco is softer color compared to a traditional dark brown.:

So, if you are wanting a traditional darker brown- there is not one in the original 32 colors.

First, we always recommend to customers to reference Annie’s book called color recipes for painted furniture and more. Don’t have that book? Just click on the title above and it will launch you to the shopping cart. It is a great investment just for chapter 1 alone. (and there are 5 more chapters!)

Chapter 1 goes into detail about color theory and mixing colors. Annie shows examples mixing her paint and explaining what the outcome will be and why. It is really helpful in understanding Annie’s Chalk Paint® and how to create endless other colors. We suggest to consider purchasing this book if you do not already have it and to experiment with your colors. It does not take much paint at all. I usually dip a finger tip into the paint and mix colors on some card stock.

Here is one option that we played with recently. We mixed almost equal amounts of Graphite and Barcelona Orange. (we added slightly more Graphite to the mix)

Another great option to play with color to get you going in the right direction, before buying paint- is the virtual Paint Mixer Tool. This tool is not an accurate, exact representation of an outcome- but mathematically it is pretty darn close. Your monitor quality does play into that equation. And just remember though- nothing compares to working with your local stockist and playing with real Chalk Paint®. With all that said…I hope you have fun using this Paint Mixer! Just click HERE to try the mixer.

Creating a Tiffany Blue-like Color using Chalk Paint®

Posted on 01/16/2015 by Tricia

Looking for a “Tiffany Blue” color?

Check out what Moonlight Designs created by mixing Pure White, Florence & Provence together.

Using Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan mix:
1 cup of Pure White
1/2 cup Florence
1/4 cup of Provence

Looking for a smaller quantity?

Instead of using cups- change the unit of measure to something smaller- like tablespoons.

I think it is a beautiful color! Hop on over to Moonlight Designs Facebook page by clicking HERE and show them some love by LIKING their page. Tell them The Purple Painted Lady sent you. : )

If you do not purchase through me…I hope you give us the opportunity to do business with you!

Color Mixing Tool – Both Chalk Paint® and Miss Mustard Seed Milk Pant

Posted on 08/01/2014 by Tricia

I’ve realized that I will find something totally cool- and then life happens and I forget all about it.

So, in case you are like me- please let me re-introduce you to the Virtual Color Mixing Tool we have HERE available on our website.

If you are trying to customize a Chalk Paint® color to match something you already have- you must try this!

I received a message from one of “Purple Painted Lady” friends named Kellie asking for help to match a color this candlestick:

So, with one quick click on our website to the virtual Color Mixer- I was able to play around with different Chalk Paint® configurations.

I liked the combination of Chateau Grey mixed with Old White.

Try out our “Color Mixing Tool” via The Purple Painted Lady’s website. It is a fun tool to help guide you to which colors to use. It can mix up to three colors in any increments you want.

Once you are pointed in the right direction, have fun! If you do not have many colors, visit your local stockist and ask if they have a “paint bar.” Once you start creating various hues, you will begin to understand (and for some of you)…not be afraid to do this on your own.

And remember~if interested in purchasing Annie Sloan products, please visit our website if interested in ordering Chalk Paint®. We have Chalk Paint® available for $34.95 per quart every day, we offer low/flat rate shipping and it always ships same day (as long as Pete, our UPS guy has not come already!)

In fact- there are many reasons we think buying through us is the best. Read THIS little post about what sets The Purple Painted Lady apart from the rest.

Lastly, we share a lot more information to help you get the most functionality out of your Chalk Paint® on our Facebook page. Consider checking it out by clicking HERE. While there- kindly consider LIKING us.
