Annie Sloan Tyrian Plum Chalk Paint is a wonderfully sophisticated, earthy, aubergine colour named after Tyrian purple, a natural pigment extracted from sea snails in ancient times.
Annie Sloan Tyrian Plum Chalk Paint is a sophisticated, earthy dark reddish-purple with real warmth and depth. This rich aubergine shade has the luxurious character of a jewel colour, making it an excellent choice for statement furniture and dramatic interiors.
Tyrian Plum takes its name from Tyrian purple, an ancient natural pigment made from sea snails. Known as imperial or royal purple, the colour was historically prized for its rarity and association with royalty.
Its warmth makes Tyrian Plum particularly effective in north-facing rooms, as well as intimate spaces such as dining rooms and bedrooms.
Tyrian Plum can create a sophisticated look when paired with classic neutrals, or a much more dramatic finish when combined with other jewel tones and rich colours.
Tyrian Plum is extremely versatile despite its depth of colour. Pair it with Old White or Paloma for a softer, sophisticated look, or combine it with Honfleur and Burgundy for a richer, more dramatic furniture finish.
