Annie Sloan Rodmell Chalk Paint is a sophisticated, dusty damson purple inspired by the atmospheric purple-blue shades of twilight.
Annie Sloan Rodmell Chalk Paint is a sophisticated, dusty damson purple inspired by the atmospheric purple-blue shades of twilight. With its muted depth and elegant character, Rodmell is a beautiful choice for furniture painting, upcycling and creating a more considered, sophisticated interior.
Rodmell was developed in collaboration with Charleston Farmhouse, the historic home of the Bloomsbury group, and takes inspiration from the painterly colours found throughout Charleston.
Its complex purple tone works particularly well when you want a colour that feels rich and interesting without being as bold as a bright purple.
Rodmell is particularly versatile because its muted purple can be treated almost like a neutral. Use it with cooler shades for a calm, contemplative look or contrast it with warmer colours to make the purple more prominent.
Rodmell works particularly well with Paris Grey, Versailles, Firle and Olive. Pairing it with cooler colours creates a calm, sophisticated scheme, while warmer shades can provide contrast and bring out the richness of the purple.
For a particularly interesting colour combination, Rodmell can also be paired with Greek Blue and Original, as used in Annie Sloan’s Charleston-inspired decorative collection.
Rodmell is a good choice if you want a muted, sophisticated purple rather than a strong or highly saturated shade.
Rodmell is a dusty damson purple with atmospheric blue-purple undertones. It has a refined, slightly faded quality that works particularly well on vintage and decorative furniture.
Tyrian Plum is considerably deeper and warmer, with a rich dark reddish-purple character.
