Paloma Grey chalk paintPaloma Grey is made from mixing purple and yellow complementaries with white to make a soft warm neutral taupe grey. It is both a modern contemporary colour and a classic colour that was used when a range of purples first became possible.

they each feature an ergonomic wooden handle

It’s also a colour that works well in a neoclassical interior deepened a little with dark wax

It works with a neutral like French Linen for a more traditional country house look or with gentle muted greens like Coolabah and Capability Green

Wipe off any excess with Clear Wax
