Answer: Typically white, pale-pale gray or pink. The finish is not solid. You want the pieces to look as if they are time worn. A diluted paint colorwash works well or a painted finish that you can sand along the edges after it has dried. Many sites offer painting tips and advice. Simply type in Shabby Chic paint techniques.
