I had a client contact me to do two dressers using traditional Union Jack colours for her son. The dad is from Ireland, so he wanted a bit of the UK to be represented in his son's room.
I used my own mix of chalk paint in white, red & blue, then went over the entire piece using a dark wax. Then I distressed it and buffed it out with a fine steel wool.

To the Queen! (different meaning here in Vegas)
