Duck Egg Blue can be used as a single colour for a soft and understated finish, or layered with other Chalk Paint colours to add depth and contrast. It can also be used to highlight details over darker shades, making it useful for decorative furniture and pieces with mouldings or carved details.
For a distressed or aged finish, allow the paint to dry and then lightly sand selected areas using a sanding pad. This can reveal the layers underneath and emphasise the character of vintage furniture.
