It is a grey that has arrived somewhere completely its own, a colour of real presence and considered, accumulated weight that transforms a piece the moment it is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a colour that commands a room with complete conviction and complete ease. A single piece in Graphite becomes something of real consequence — grounding the space with a quality of quiet, considered authority that makes everything around it feel more completely at ease and more completely itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour Companions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSoft \u0026amp; Muted\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaloma\u003c\/strong\u003e — quietly muted and full of gathered warmth, alongside Graphite it creates a combination of real considered ease and tonal, atmospheric depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e — warm and quietly earthy, it gives Graphite a softness and a quality of gathered, unhurried calm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParis Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e — cool and quietly sophisticated, alongside Graphite it builds a tonal palette of real considered depth and gathered, open elegance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRich \u0026amp; Dramatic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmperor’s Silk\u003c\/strong\u003e — vivid and deeply gathered, the contrast with Graphite creates a palette of real drama and considered, striking conviction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNapoleonic Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e — deep and richly gathered, alongside Graphite it builds a palette of real atmospheric depth and considered, moody beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinishing Touches\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear Wax\u003c\/strong\u003e — preserves the full depth and authority of Graphite exactly as it is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Wax\u003c\/strong\u003e — deepens Graphite into something even richer and more atmospheric, adding a beautiful quality of age and gathered, considered character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Wax\u003c\/strong\u003e — lifts Graphite into something more open and full of gathered, breathing light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraphite covers beautifully in two coats, its deep, considered authority building with each layer into a finish of real presence and quiet weight. Its depth intensifies as it dries — always let each coat dry fully before assessing coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Chalk Paint® Difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnie 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore You Begin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaking It Your Own\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild up thick layers for a sculptural, impasto effect, then seal with wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand back lightly once dry to reveal what's underneath and create genuine, earned wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a little water to thin the paint into a translucent wash that lets the wood grain breathe through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlend colours directly on the piece — Chalk Paint® mixes beautifully for completely custom results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSealing \u0026amp; Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnie 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Few Questions We Hear Often\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWill it work outside?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — seal it with Annie Sloan Lacquer and it will handle the elements beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes it have to be sealed?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I mix my own colours?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely — it's one of the great joys of Chalk Paint®. Mix directly in the tin or on the piece itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhich brush should I use?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnnie Sloan's Flat Brush gives a smooth, even finish. Her Round Brush is ideal for working paint into carved details and creating texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow much do I need?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne litre covers approximately 13 square metres.
