Green is …
Fresh. Calming. Grounding. Green is the colour of nature, renewal, life. Above all, green is versatile, and when you mix any one of Annie’s signature green colours with other shades, the possibilities become endless. So why not add a little to your home? You’ll be glad you did.
From Dark to Light …
Amsterdam Green
Beautiful Amsterdam—capital of the Netherlands—is a cultured, vibrant city … where it happens to rain, A LOT! With a climate like that it makes sense that the Dutch love their deep, lustrous greens, often pairing them with soft, pale, pastels that add delicate flourishes to the subdued palette of their surroundings. Here’s what Annie has to say about Amsterdam Green. “This deep, dark green Chalk Paint® colour takes inspiration from the painted shutters and doors of Amsterdam. It works particularly well with whites and creams and botanical imagery and plants. And it looks brilliant with earthy yellows and reds – try teaming it with Primer Red, Arles and Old Ochre. It also makes a great backdrop to cool blues, such as Provence, Giverny and the purple tones of Emile.

Antibes Green
If you’re looking for a way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day and the Emerald Isle, gorgeous Antibes Green is the colour for you. You’ll find this bright emerald green, sometimes pure and othertimes lightened by mixing with a white, used to enliven rustic country furnishings, and accent pieces, setting them off against darker, more neutral backgrounds. Antibes Green can look right at home anywhere from rainy Ireland, to the luminous south of France. To add depth and a distressed character, try finishing your piece with Dark Chalk Paint® Wax.

Firle
Firle is one of a trio of exclusive colours Annie produced to celebrate her collaboration with historic Charleston—an English farmhouse set deep in the Sussex countryside which served as home to the influential English artists known as “The Bloomsbury Group” in the early twentieth century. Annie describes Firle as “a fresh, zesty and crisp green which echoes the gorgeous distemper of the wall surrounding the mantelpiece in the artist Clive Bell’s Charleston study.
