You won’t be afraid of these darks! Meet the newest colours to the Annie Sloan line, Athenian Black and Oxford Navy.
ATHENIAN BLACK
It’s the shade so many customers have been wishing for over the years — a real, true black. And it’s now here!
Athenian Black is a deep black developed to reflect the opaque figures and dramatic silhouetted shapes painted on Ancient Greek ceramics.
It’s dramatic, but still has a softness to it.
For added depth and intensity, pair it with Black or Dark wax.
OXFORD NAVY
The blues have always been among my favourites in the Annie Sloan palette, and Oxford Navy is a very welcome addition.
As Annie explains, “Oxford Navy is an inky, traditional navy blue which evokes the strong, august blue of academic insignia and fountain pens, as well as the rich pigment indigo blue so synonymous with traditional Indian block printing.”
It reminds me of the deepest ocean, or the colour of the sky between the stars on a perfect clear night.
Wonderful with Clear Wax, but pair with White Wax for a soft washed look.
We’re very excited for you to try both of these new colours, and see just how lovely the darkness can be!
