For the first time, Annie Sloan is revealing her Colour Palette of the Year 2026! It’s a confident, uplifting trio of jewel-tone shades, each paired with a guiding word to inspire you in the year ahead:

• Tyrian Plum – Creativity
• Napoleonic Blue – Wellbeing
• Primer Red – Community

Tyrian Plum – Creativity

Tyrian Plum is the shade Annie didn’t know she needed until she created it – an instant spark for creativity. This sophisticated dark reddish-purple can feel luxurious and opulent when paired with gold, yet it’s equally suited to a more earthy, global chic aesthetic when styled with decorative lanterns, wood, and kilims.

Napoleonic Blue – Wellbeing

A deep, warm cobalt, Napoleonic Blue invites calm from the moment it’s applied. Annie has embraced the colour in her study – her personal retreat for clarity, balance, and rejuvenation. It’s a rich, warm blue that supports wellbeing without ever feeling cool or distant.

Primer Red – Community

Inspired by the pigment of soils found around the world, Primer Red is a deeply grounding, warm red that resonates with connection and belonging. As a colour that appears universally across cultures, it naturally speaks to community – and pairs beautifully with countless other shades.

All three colours are available in both Chalk Paint and Wall Paint. Over the next 12 months, Annie Sloan will showcase creative ways to incorporate this stunning trio – whether used together or as part of broader schemes ranging from soothing neutrals to invigorating brights.
