Sometimes the best paint colors are the ones you create yourself!
With so many beautiful shades in the Country Chic Paint collection, there are endless possibilities for mixing and creating something completely unique. We recently experimented with some of our newest colors and came up with six fresh color recipes that we can't wait to try on our next furniture projects.
From soft and romantic pinks to moody blues and earthy greens, these custom combinations show just how much personality you can create by blending the colors you already love.
Here are six new color recipes to inspire your next project!
If you love pink, this combination is a must-try! Raspberry Sorbet brings its rich, playful depth, while Fragrant Blooms adds a softer, more muted quality to the mix.
The result is a beautifully balanced pink that feels colorful without being overly bright. We could see this shade looking gorgeous on a vintage dresser, bedside table, or small accent piece.
Try it when: You want a cheerful pop of color with a softer, sophisticated feel.
Here, the soft, balanced pink of Fragrant Blooms meets an equal part of our classic deep navy Peacoat, and the navy takes the lead. Instead of a subtle tint, you get a rich, moody blue with just a whisper of warmth from the pink underneath.
It's a great example of how equal parts of two very different colors can create something that reads as a whole new shade rather than a blend of the two.
Try it when: You want a deep, dramatic blue with a touch of softness underneath.
Two beautiful pink-leaning shades come together in this soft and sophisticated combination.
Let's Mauve It! brings its earthy, understated mauve character, while Fragrant Blooms adds a little more richness and color. The equal-parts recipe makes this an easy one to recreate and a lovely option for anyone who wants a romantic shade with a modern feel.
Try it when: You're looking for a refined pink-mauve that's perfect for bedrooms, dressers, side tables, or feminine-inspired spaces.
This combination pairs the deep, layered character of Nocturnal with the earthy, understated warmth of Let's Mauve It! to create a soft, dusty blue.
Nocturnal keeps the color grounded and a little moody, while Let's Mauve It! takes the edge off and adds a gentle warmth, so the finished shade feels calm rather than cold.
Try it when: You want a quiet, dusty blue that still feels warm and lived-in.
Bring on the greens! Botanical's soft, sun-washed character meets the rich depth of Secret Garden in this earthy combination.
The contrast between these two greens creates a layered color with plenty of personality. It's a natural choice for furniture projects inspired by gardens, cottage style, vintage interiors, or organic design.
Try it when: You want a nature-inspired green with depth and character.
For a moodier take on Botanical, reach for Peacoat.
The soft warmth of Botanical pairs beautifully with Peacoat's deep, saturated blue, creating a sophisticated combination that's both earthy and dramatic. This would be especially beautiful on statement furniture where you want a color that feels distinctive without being overwhelming.
Try it when: You want a rich, unexpected color with a sophisticated, moody feel.
