LITERS of Old White are new to us in the United States. Unlike the Old White previously in quarts, the NEW Old White has a slight grey tone, similar to an oyster shell.  Annie Sloan describes this color as chalk or gesso.  This is a cool soft white without yellow or pink.   This is perfect for the customer that does not want any yellow in their white color.    It is a color which works with everything, but for the classic French look, use it over Paris Grey. You can also use it to mix with other colors, softening them!   If you’re looking for the color that is most similar to the previous Old White you probably want to look at ORIGINAL (Annie’s newest white color!). 

There will also be a change in packaging of the Chalk Paint® throughout 2019, this will impact all colors as the US becomes aligned globally.  What does this mean..?  Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan is sold worldwide: Australia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Africa and Spain!  The packaging of the paint will be transitioning so that all countries are aligned.  In the USA the 32 ounces (quart) containers will now be supplied in liters (approximately 2 ounces more!)  Meaning a bit more paint for you at the same low price of $34.95!!!   

Along with the changes in the size of the containers you will notice a lid change as well.  The Liter lids require a patient hand to open and close.  Be sure to use a paint can opener (which we include FREE with every order), being sure to work your way gently around the lid before lifting it open. Turning the can as you open 360 degrees will allow the lid to lift without denting it.

You will find that all colors in the new liters will be slightly thicker.  Keep these tips in mind as you start your project with the new version of Chalk Paint®
