Emile Navy

Emile II FabricJ896F-43

Emile Navy is a deep, even navy with a smooth, understated surface and a very dark, almost inky finish. The colour reads cool and quietly refined, with just enough depth to give the cloth a sharp, tailored look.

About this fabric

This plain fabric from Jane Churchill’s Emile II collection is composed of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, with an approximate width of 140cm and no visible repeat. The swatch shows a dense navy tone that sits close to midnight blue, softening slightly where the light catches the weave. Its finish looks smooth rather than glossy, so the colour feels crisp and restrained instead of shiny or reflective. With care code C 8 + T 3 and fire code K, it is a practical choice for a wide range of interior schemes.

How to use it

Use this navy to anchor pale walls, limed woods or brushed metal finishes; its dark, cool tone gives upholstery a formal edge and makes curtains feel clean and architectural. It pairs especially well with chalk white, grey and warm brass for a sharper contrast.

A dark, versatile navy that suits tailored upholstery and relaxed drapery alike.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
