Lucerne Grey

Name: Lucerne Grey
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F3931-26

Lucerne Grey reads as a pale, creamy grey with a quiet silk sheen and a very even surface. Its tone feels restrained and refined rather than stark, with the light catching softly across the weave.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk, Lucerne Grey has the smooth, fine finish you expect from a luxurious plain cloth, with no visible repeat to interrupt the surface. The colour sits between ivory and grey, creating a gentle warm-neutral impression that feels calm in daylight. At approximately 138cm wide, it is a versatile width for both curtains and lighter upholstery applications. The cloth’s subtle lustre gives it depth without shine overload, making the shade look clean, soft and composed.

How to use it

Use this soft creamy grey to lighten a formal sitting room, especially where you want silk with a quieter, more tailored look. It pairs beautifully with limestone, pale oak and muted metallic finishes.

A calm neutral silk for elegant drapes or refined upholstery accents.

Pairs well with

Lucerne Grey 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.
