Pompadour is a warm-white neutral that leans towards being a soft dove grey rather than a cream. The name is a tribute to the French courtier Madame de Pompadour, who was a devoted patron of architecture and the decorative arts (in particular porcelain). This easy to use, delicately pigmented shade reflects the warm complexities, the almost translucent nature of, and the subtle shade-shifting properties of fine porcelain.What It IsAnnie Sloan Wall Paint is a water-based interior paint with a durable, washable matt finish for walls and ceilings.
