I had a request for a custom Chalk Paint® color match for an image on my website – pedal car pink!
While Annie Sloan’s color palette introduces endless possibilities….
I started with a short list…
Henrietta, Antoinette, Scandinavian Pink, Emperor’s Silk, and Primer Red.
To envision each Chalk Paint® color mixed with Old White, check out a great post here.
After considering the colors and gradations, I decided to mix Henrietta (a rich clean pink with a touch of lilac) with Annie Sloan’s Pure White.
Using Pure White (rather than Old White) will result in a cleaner color and a closer match to the bright light-pink of the pedal car.
Funny enough, I spent most of my time figuring out how little of Henrietta Chalk Paint® I needed to mix into the Pure White!
In the end, 1 Part Henrietta to 16 Parts Pure White Chalk Paint® made the best match.
That would equate to mixing 1/2 sample pot of Henrietta (2 oz) to 1 quart of Pure White (32 oz). I think even lighter versions would be just gorgeous!
Thanks Henrietta!
Gorgeous color. So lovely!
It really is a sweet color…I think I have the perfect piece for it!
FUN…love it!!!
Thanks Sally!
