Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® – Oxford Navy | Deep Traditional Navy Blue Chalk Paint
Meet Oxford Navy, a commanding inky navy chalk paint inspired by the rich indigo dyes of traditional Indian textiles and the inky fountain pens of Oxford scholars. Evoking scholarly sophistication and classic elegance, this shade is a favorite for DIY creatives seeking a dramatic yet timeless backdrop.
🖌️ Why You’ll Love It:
- Deep, rich navy that reads black until you look closer—sophisticated drama without overwhelm
- Evokes vintage academic blue with a modern matte finish
- No prep required—no sanding or priming needed unless you want a high-gloss effect
- Chalk paint dries matte and velvety; seal with wax or lacquer for durability (wax boosts sheen)
🎨 Creative Ideas:
- Make a nightstand or console table feel regal and moody
- Contrast with pastel tones like Scandinavian Pink or clean neutrals like French Linen
- Use as a moody wall or panel accent behind gilded hardware or florals
- Paint small wood mouldings or frames for deep color pop
📦 Sizes & Coverage:
- Available in 120 ml sample (perfect for test spots) and 1 L tins
- One liter covers approximately 130–140 ft² (≈12–13 m²) over two coats
- Low-VOC, water-based formula that’s easy to clean and earthy friendly
💡 Pro Tip: Pair Oxford Navy with Athenian Black glaze or clear wax for a subtle aged patina, or layer over Old White for a chippy two-tone effect. Works beautifully with brass accents and warming woodgrain.
