Keats Old Blue reads as a muted blue-green with a softly diffused finish and a gentle surface lustre. The colour sits somewhere between aged duck egg and pale sage, giving the swatch a calm, weathered look.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler fabric is woven in a 70% viscose, 30% cotton blend, with an approximate width of 142cm and no visible repeat, which gives it a clean, uninterrupted appearance. In this colourway, the finish looks slightly brushed by the light, so the pale blue-green tone shifts from cooler greyed notes to a softer, misted sage. The cloth appears refined rather than heavy, with enough body for upholstery but a fluid enough handle to work well for curtains too. The overall effect is understated and elegant, especially where a calm, low-contrast colour is needed.

How to use it

Use Keats Old Blue on a tailored armchair, loose cover, or simple drapery where its soft blue-green depth can bring a cool, restful note. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak, and darker navy accents.

A quiet blue-green with a gentle sheen that softens upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Keats 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.
