Caron Old Blue
Healey FabricF4516-06
Caron Old Blue is a quietly textured plain in a cool, softened blue that reads calm and refined rather than bright. The swatch shows a gentle strié effect across the surface, giving the colour extra depth and movement.

About this fabric
This fabric is woven in 48% viscose, 30% cotton and 22% polyester, with an approximate width of 141cm and no repeat, making it easy to work with across both upholstery and drapery schemes. In this Old Blue colourway, the surface shifts between pale grey-blue and slightly deeper denim notes, with the weave catching the light in fine horizontal lines. The finish feels smooth but not flat, with a soft slub that keeps the cloth looking lively up close. Its cool, muted tone gives it a tailored character without feeling severe.
How to use it
Use Old Blue for a smart sofa, banquette or loose-cover, then soften it with chalky white, pale oak and brushed nickel. It also makes an elegant curtain colour where the gentle striation can be seen in daylight.
A cool, understated blue with a softly slubbed surface that works well on either relaxed upholstery or tailored curtains.

Caron Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
