Arabian Night – A Signature Black Milk Paint, Made the Real Milk Paint® Way

Arabian Night is our deepest, most dramatic shade of black milk paint, a blueish-black that reads almost indigo in daylight and pure midnight under lamplight. It’s named for the color of a clear desert sky at night, and it’s become a go-to choice for makers who want a black with more depth and character than a flat, one-note black paint can offer. It’s a traditional color built on the antique painted-furniture palette, so it looks equally at home on a Colonial-era reproduction dresser or a modern accent wall.

Why Real Milk Paint®?

RMP Finishes (formerly Real Milk Paint Co) has been formulating milk paint since 1995, and every batch of Arabian Night is made from the same short ingredient list our earliest recipes used:

• casein (milk protein),
• calcium lime,
• natural pigments,
• and a plant-based filler.

We don’t hide our ingredient list, and every color we sell, including Arabian Night, is manufactured without radioactive kaolin clay fillers, a shortcut some competitors still use. Because we stand behind what’s in the bag, our milk paint is tested by an ISO-accredited, CPSC-accepted lab and meets ASTM F963-17 requirements for soluble heavy metals and total lead content, so it’s compliant for use on children’s furniture and toys.
