Annie Sloan Coco Chalk Paint is a soft brown-grey inspired by the warm pigment Burnt Umber. Its understated, earthy tone makes it a versatile neutral for furniture painting and upcycling.

Coco works beautifully on its own, particularly on smaller pieces of furniture such as bedside cabinets, occasional tables and side tables. It can also be used as a top coat over brighter colours to soften the overall look and create a more muted, vintage-style finish.

Coco works particularly well with stronger colours such as Emperor’s Silk, creating an attractive contrast while keeping the overall finish warm and sophisticated. It can also be paired with other neutral Annie Sloan colours for a softer scheme.

Coco Compared with Other Brown and Neutral Chalk Paint Colours

Coco is a useful choice when you want a soft brown-grey rather than a stronger brown or a traditional grey.

Coco is a soft brown-grey with warm, earthy undertones. It is particularly versatile as a neutral and can also be used to soften brighter colours.

Honfleur is a richer, warmer brown, making it a stronger choice when you want a deeper, more traditional brown finish.

French Linen is a soft khaki grey with a more muted neutral appearance.

Country Grey is a soft natural grey that has less of the brown character found in Coco.

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’
