According to Annie, French Linen is a cool neutral Chalk Paint® colour inspired by the colour of aged natural linen. This grey works beautifully with golds and a range of rich and bright colours such as Emile and Emperor’s Silk.

Annie Sloan's French Linen is a incredible color. It is a taupey-grey...BUT more taupe!

To me it rivals a piece from Pottery Barn. It is a timeless & classic color. Again - it is a taupe with a bit of grey to it compared to a similar Chalk Paint® color, called Coco. Coco is more brown. For kitchen cabinets - depending on your counter tops - I love painting French Linen on the base and Old White on the upper cabinets! According to Annie Sloan herself, "A cool neutral inspired by the colour of aged natural linen. This khaki grey works beautifully with golds and a range of rich and bright colours such as Emile and Emperor's Silk."

French Linen is now packaged in Litres rather than quart containers. The color has shifted just slightly - in the Litre, French Linen is more of a gray! It is an obvious change though if you are putting this against the French Linen for pre-2019. There is no green! Some say French Linen is a puddy. Or the color of cement.

You will find the paint in the liters will be slightly thicker- here are some tips when using:

1. A light touch with your brush is needed. It spreads much more easily than trying to push the paint around. Using an Annie Sloan paint brush is important.

2. A spray bottle will be your new best friend and you may find it will really help if you are painting in a linear motion.

3. Use your spray bottle to wet sand with Annie's sanding pads. You will find that it distresses the paint beautifully!

SPECIFICATIONS:

1 Litre = 33.8 oz

1 Pint = 16 oz

Sample Pot = 4 oz (1/2 cup)

COVERAGE:

1 Litre will cover around 120 to 140 square feet...give or take! (One coat)

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! : )

Both Chalk Paint® & Chalk Paint® Wax have been independently tested & certified as Toy Safe according to strict European regulations (BS EN 71-3:2013).
