Annie Sloan Aubusson Blue Chalk Paint is a rich, dark teal blue inspired by the blue found in classic Aubusson rugs from France. Its colour is also closely associated with the development of Prussian Blue in the late 18th century, giving it a wonderfully traditional and sophisticated character.

Aubusson Blue works particularly well on furniture when you want a deep, atmospheric colour without going all the way to navy. It is especially suited to traditional, vintage and Swedish-inspired interiors, as well as furniture upcycling projects.

How to Use Chalk Paint

  • For best results apply the paint with either a chalk paint brush or flat brush.
  • Once you have finished painting, we always recommend using either an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or chalk paint Lacquer to seal and finish. Apply with a wax brush or soft cloth.
  • You can use a Sanding pad to smooth the paint or create an aged effect.
  • Please be aware that the colour shades may look different on your computer screen to real life. For a true representative we strongly advise to use the hand painted colour card.
  • We offer all paints in either a 120 ml tester pot or 1 litre tins.
  • A one litre tin will cover approximately 13 square metres.
  • For hints and tips please see our article on ‘how to chalk paint furniture’

This paint is amazing! I pour a little paint into a container, and then dip my brush into water just before I dip this into the paint because it will thin it out a bit, giving a smooth look. It covers beautifully in 2 coats! I can't wait to buy more colours!
