Antibes Green Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Antibes Green in Your Space

Antibes Green is the colour of the Mediterranean at its most alive — the vivid, sun-warmed green of painted shutters and harbour walls and old market stalls that have been soaking up strong light for so long that the colour has become part of the place itself. It sits at the bright end of green with a warmth and a joyfulness that feels completely uncontrived, a colour that knows exactly what it is and arrives in a space with complete confidence.

This is not a colour that sits quietly. A single piece in Antibes Green will hold a room — drawing the eye with a brightness that feels genuinely alive. And yet it is never aggressive or exhausting. There is an ease to Antibes Green that makes it surprisingly liveable, even at full strength.

How to Apply

Antibes Green covers beautifully in two coats, each layer building the vivid, sun-warmed depth that makes this colour so distinctive. Its warmth intensifies as it dries — always let each coat dry fully before assessing coverage.

The Chalk Paint® Difference

Annie Sloan invented Chalk Paint® in 1990 and it changed furniture painting forever. The formula is water-based, ultra-low VOC (2.2g/l), and virtually odour-free — and it bonds to almost any surface without the stripping, sanding, or priming that traditional paints demand. One tin, one brush, and you're ready to go.

It works on timber, metal, concrete, brick, laminate, and plastic. Indoors or out. Smooth and matte or heavily textured. The finish is entirely yours to decide.

Before You Begin

Give your tin a good stir — no shaking needed. Load your brush and work in smooth, even strokes. One coat often surprises you with how much it covers; a second coat gives you full, solid opacity. Always let each coat dry completely before continuing.

Making It Your Own

• Build up thick layers for a sculptural, impasto effect, then seal with wax
• Sand back lightly once dry to reveal what's underneath and create genuine, earned wear
• Add a little water to thin the paint into a translucent wash that lets the wood grain breathe through
• Blend colours directly on the piece — Chalk Paint® mixes beautifully for completely custom results

Sealing & Protection

Annie Sloan Clear Wax is the classic finish — it protects and adds a subtle, natural sheen. Dark Wax settles into mouldings and edges for depth and shadow. For outdoor pieces or high-traffic surfaces, Annie Sloan Lacquer gives a harder, weather-resistant finish.

A Few Questions We Hear Often

Will it work outside?
Yes — seal it with Annie Sloan Lacquer and it will handle the elements beautifully.

Does it have to be sealed?
Not always. Decorative pieces that won't see daily wear can be left as they are. For anything that gets touched, wiped, or sat on regularly, wax or lacquer will protect your work.

Can I mix my own colours?
Absolutely — it's one of the great joys of Chalk Paint®. Mix directly in the tin or on the piece itself.

Which brush should I use?
Annie Sloan's Flat Brush gives a smooth, even finish. Her Round Brush is ideal for working paint into carved details and creating texture.

How much do I need?
One litre covers approximately 13 square metres. The 120ml size is perfect for smaller pieces, testing colours, and mixing experiments.
