Annie Sloan Greek Blue Chalk Paint

This is a warm blue with no green in it. It is a colour found throughout the Mediterranean, often faded and distressed on shutters and woodwork. It has a chalky look about it yet it is a strong positive colour.

ADD OLD WHITE – to make ‘Nantucket’
Add 2 parts of Old White to 1 part of Greek Blue to get a good Cape Cod colour so I called it NANTUCKET (Medium hue on left.)

ADD MORE OLD WHITE – to make ‘Cornish Blue’
Mixing 1 part of Greek Blue with 8 parts of Old White makes a seaside blue like the blue you see on traditional CORNISH BLUE striped mugs and old fashioned lighthouses. (Light shade on left.)

This is a simple chair given a distressed paintwork treatment with Old White as the first coat and Greek Blue as the second coat and rubbed back especially on the back rail. The seat has our Mastic ticking placed horizontally in contrast to the vertical slats.  (On left)

Greek Blue goes well with the following colours:  Coco & Aubusson Blue.
