Annie Sloan\u2019s carefully selected range of colours is hugely flexible as you can mix colours together to extend the range and create endless possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to make a color paler then add<strong> Old White<\/strong> or <strong>Pure White<\/strong> . Old White will give the color a softer vintage feel, and Pure will make the color more modern sleek and sexy look.<\/p>\n<p>Find out roughly what ratio you need by experimenting &#8211; you could use you fingers to dab and mix colours, or a teaspoon to make small amounts. For larger amounts you could use a cup or even a tin as a measure. Consider taking a color mixing workshop at on the purple couch&#8230;you would have so much fun&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Start with a dollop of your chosen colour, slowly adding the Old White or Pure. A dollop of Provence and two dollops of Old White gives you a ratio of 1 to 2, making a lovely soft pale slightly aged turquoise like old faded French shutters. Use Pure and the colour is cleaner and fresher, giving a more vintage 1950\u2019s look!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s useful to keep a sample of the colors you make in your Annie Sloan Work Book, just incase you want to recreate them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to know more?<\/em>\u00a0Come in and meet with Bahia, Annie Sloan stockist in Kensington&#8230;4228 howard ave.
