Adding a little Aubusson Blue to Annie Sloan Chalk PaintⒸ Chateau Grey will result in a green with strong blue undertones, as seen on the antique blanket chest above. French Linen and Country Grey for shadows and highlights.

Red, White and Greek Blue
Heavy distressing in combination with the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors above, will result in a finish like the one on this pine cabinet.
Wearing of the Green
Take One Stepback
Called Stepback Cupboards because the top shelving piece sits "back" from the front edge of the separate lower cabinet, they are most often made of pine or oak. It is not unusual to find one where the top and bottom were not made at the same time as one complete piece, but have been put together, sometimes referred to as "married".
This one has wonderful age and patina in its deep blues and greens. If you are lucky enough to have a stepback cupboard, layering the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors shown above, would give you a similar finish.
In Kentucky, antique step backs are easy to find and reasonably priced. To see more of these delicious cupboards check out my posts, Another Stepback, Dark into Light, and Colorful Storage.
I like Annie Sloan Chalk Paint for my craft and furniture projects, but for walls nothing compares to Pure & Original Fresco Lime Paint. I love the natural variations of shades and tones the lime creates within one paint color. You have to see how gorgeous it is! Checkout my most recent interior design make overs with Fresco. It can be purchased online at www.502paint.com
P.S Pure and Original also makes a chalk based paint called Classico in 140 colors! Its amazing too!
Perfect Panels
These built in shelves and cabinets have a rich depth and deep coloration that
can be duplicated with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. The key is to not use just
one color. Rather, layer the colors to bring out the subtle shades and highlights.
This creates a surface that almost looks like a velvet or suede fabric
and highlights the detail in the woodwork.
French Blues
A charming stack of vintage French Bistro Chairs
display years of paint.
Combining and layering different hues can make your blue complex and interesting. For more blue inspiration, see my posts, Chinese Apothecary Cabinet, Modern Chalk Paint, and Rococo Commode

Custom Colors
In addition to the layering of colors to achieve an aged look,
custom colors can be made by mixing. Florence and Antibes Green
can be combined to form a rich emerald green.
