Annie Sloan Capability Green Chalk Paint is a warm, natural green inspired by the beauty of the English landscape. Its gentle, soothing character brings the colours of the outdoors indoors, making it a versatile choice for painted furniture and home interiors.The name Capability Green is a nod to the famous 18th-century English landscape gardener Lancelot “Capability” Brown, whose gardens combined natural-looking landscapes, rolling parkland and colourful planting. The colour was also developed with friends at the Royal Horticultural Society to celebrate the beauty of the English outdoors.
Capability Green is a particularly versatile green furniture paint. Its natural appearance works beautifully on traditional and country-style furniture, while its muted character also suits modern furniture and contemporary interiors.
Capability Green is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a warm natural green furniture paint rather than a bright emerald, deep forest green or blue-green shade.
For best results, apply Annie Sloan Capability Green Chalk Paint with a Chalk Paint Brush or Flat Brush. Chalk Paint is designed for furniture painting and can be applied to a wide range of surfaces with minimal preparation.
Capability Green can be used as a single colour to create a calm, natural finish or combined with other Chalk Paint colours to create contrast. Its warm green character makes it particularly effective on cupboards, dressers, tables, chairs and other painted furniture.
For a more aged or vintage appearance, allow the paint to dry and then lightly sand selected areas around edges, corners and details. This can soften the finish and emphasise the character of older furniture.
Capability Green also works particularly well with botanical and nature-inspired designs. Use it alongside floral prints, natural wood and other earthy colours to create a relaxed country-inspired interior.
Once the paint has dried, protect your finished furniture with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Wax or Lacquer. Wax is ideal for indoor furniture, while Lacquer provides a more durable protective finish where required.
One litre of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint covers approximately 13 square metres, although actual coverage will vary depending on the surface and application.
Please be aware that colours can appear differently on screen. For the most accurate representation of Capability Green, we recommend using a hand-painted Annie Sloan colour card or a 120ml tester pot before starting your project.
Capability Green works particularly well with English Yellow, Svenska Blue and Scandinavian Pink.
English Yellow creates a cheerful, natural combination that reflects the colours of an English garden. Svenska Blue provides a cooler contrast, while Scandinavian Pink introduces a soft and warm accent.
Capability Green also works well as a neutral-style base alongside a range of blues, pinks and yellows, making it one of the more versatile greens in the Annie Sloan palette.
