Graphite Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan is a deep charcoal gray with a velvety, almost black finish. Inspired by lamp black pigment, it offers strength and subtlety all at once—a color that anchors, frames, and defines. It’s the shadow behind the light. The quiet strength in a room full of color. A dark that holds warmth instead of pushing it away. Ideal for modern interiors, classic styles, and everything in between. Use it as a base for industrial drama, paired with metallics, or softened with White or Clear Wax. No sanding or priming required—just smooth, statement-making coverage.What It IsAnnie Sloan Chalk Paint® is a water-based decorative paint for furniture, cabinetry, walls and creative finishes.
