Duck Egg Blue - Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Duck Egg Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Duck Egg is a soft, vintage blue‑green inspired by the delicate tones of French and Swedish interiors. Calm, airy, and beautifully nostalgic, it carries a gentle green undertone that gives it warmth and depth. Think antique ceramics, weathered shutters, and the soft patina of coastal cottages.

How Duck Egg Works in Real Homes

Duck Egg is one of those colours that instantly softens a space. Its muted blue‑green tone is elegant without being cold, making it perfect for French country, Scandinavian, coastal, and cottage‑style interiors. Dark Wax enhances its natural green undertone, creating a gorgeous vintage patina that feels authentically aged.

For a classic Laura Ashley‑style Duck Egg, mix it with Louis Blue — the result is soft, dreamy, and beautifully nostalgic. Mix Duck Egg with Chateau Grey for a muted eucalyptus tone that feels calm, botanical, and modern.

Creative Ways to Use Duck Egg

Duck Egg is stunning on vintage furniture, especially pieces with curves, carvings, or panelling where the colour can catch the light. It’s also beautiful on coastal‑inspired décor, kitchen cabinetry, and bedroom pieces where you want a soft, restful feel.

For a classic New England palette, pair Duck Egg with Primer Red, Poudre, and Giverny — the combination is crisp, charming, and full of character. For a softer, more playful look, combine Duck Egg with Antoinette, Old White, and Svenska Blue for a traditional sorbet‑shade vibe.

Mix Old Ochre with Duck Egg to create a soft, gentle green that’s perfect for rustic or heritage‑inspired pieces.
