Help me choose an annie sloan paint colour!

These are the colours in my bedroom. French style bed and chest of drawers. All neutral including a beige carpet. Pale linen coloured walls.

Had anyone painted with annie sloan paints as I have a rather nasty pine desk/dressing table and the bedside table (bad paint job few years ago) that need painting.

Can't choose a colour and scared of making an expensive mistake.

Any suggestions?

To be honest, I love the Annie Sloan paint, but now use farrow and ball eggshell, there's so many gorgeous ones to choose from

I got a white and a grey tester pot and mixed them together which was nice, and reasonably cheap compared to buying a whole pot of one colour. Two tester pots would probably cover that dressing table.

I have just today finished my second Annie Sloan project, my new bedside tables. I'm all about bright colours so have made my own bright turquoise by mixing Florence and Old White.

Paris Grey and Coco are both lovely and much more muted?

Get on pinterest and YouTube and search for each paint colour. That's the best way I found of seeing how it will look and choosing a colour.

Don't stress about the application - It's easy as pie.

Paris Grey is my favourite. Quite neutral but with depth.

I've used Old White. It was nice but not fantastically exciting. The greys were more stylish in my opinion.
