Jaipur in the heart of Rajasthan, India, is known as the Pink City because all the buildings are various shades of dusty ancient pink. Set in the midst of an area of incredible craftsmanship, Jaipur is an endlessly inspiring city and gave its name to this soft sophisticated pink.
Jaipur Pink is a dusty earthy pink with a softness to it. Whilst it was inspired by India, this pink is everywhere in countries like France and Italy; it has the look of traditional plaster – slightly dirty and muted with a timeless olde-world quality. There is nothing Barbie about this pink!
Jaipur Pink lightens to make other pinks or add Arles to make it more of an earthy ochre.
In India it is a colour that works with earthy yellows, browns and reds like Old Ochre Honfleur and Primer Red. Use Jaipur Pink with warmer neutrals like Original, Old White and Rococo White for a cohesive sophisticated look. Jaipur Pink also works with strong colours like Tyrian Plum, Cambrian Blue and Olive to create fresh modern interiors.
Acording to Annie, this is a dramatic, rich, jewel-toned plum with both maroon and red elements. It’s Annie’s homage to the ancient pigment, Tyrian purple (a shade reserved for Roman emperors). This deeply saturated maroon will flatter most spaces and generate an indulgent atmosphere. A regal yet mellow shade, the warmth, ripeness and depth of pigment in Tyrian Plum make it an ideal choice for dining spaces or bedrooms. Acording to Trish (The Purple Painted Lady), this is a very great moody color!
Don’t forget when purchasing Chalk Paint® Decorative Paint by Annie Sloan- to consider purchasing her Clear Wax also. Annie’s paint and wax were created to partner perfectly together! The paint itself will harden but the wax will truly protect it! The wax does completely harden and it becomes hard and is water repellent. It is a wonderful protective finish that you can buff once dry- to the sheen you desire.

We are sorry – there are NO RETURNs when it comes to paint. You will find this for every stockist. Think about it- would you ever want a quart of paint sent to you - that was shipped to someone else prior? We eliminate any potential issues with this policy.
With that said- we apologize for any issues this may cause. Choose wisely and do not spontaneously purchase a color if unsure. OK? In fact- if you need help in deciding- ask us. We are here to help you! : )
