I really do not know of any company that matches up old Swedish paint colors and re-sells them under a label. Swedish paint was hand mixed with pigment, so there could be a thousand different shade combinations. You sort of have to find a color that you like and run with it. I have found that the grays that have green or beige undertones are the best ones to paint with, because they look very close to Swedish color tones. Some women love the Annie Sloan paint line.

I tend to lean to Painters Touch- Fossil for all my gray furniture. It has a nice beige tone to it. I have really leaned on this color for many years, and love it so much. I have had it made so many times over.

The Strawflower is another color that I use often. It also has a dulled down look to it, while at the same time appears vibrant.

Painters touch has a number of great colors that can work for the Swedish styled painted furniture.

For Paint pigments, I have purchased from this company for existing paint I have in my home that need some additional volume of color. They have excellent customer service.

I hope that helps!

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me. I’m looking to purchase some Gustavian Grey Paint & possibly more. Also I would love to have a color swatch of the Sweedish colors. I live in Ohio in the United States.I have only found 1 Company in Sweeden that states that they sell & ship to the U.S. They said they are more than happy to take my order. They have only gave me a run around.Excuses is all I have gotten. They have not taken my order.I’ve commnicated via e-mails, called their business line, which the last call on their service said to call their mobile, so I did. The Lady said to e-mail her again, which I did. I have not heard from them since.Do you know of any Responsible Business where I can place a phone order for this paint at?I do NOT do online shopping now. Thank You so much! Please HELP! LOL! Dee

Comment on Inexpensive Swedish Mora Clocks by Lynn

Thanks for the information. Although I love the price of the Coaster clock, it is a tad too short. The Howard Miller is a good size but a bit pricey just to have it faux painted. I found another clock made by Habersham but this one is too tall, at 9 feet, and I believe the price was around $3000.

I will keep searching!
