Tornado Blue

Name: Tornado Blue
Brand: Cormar

Tornado Blue reads as a deep, cool blue-grey with a charcoal cast across its densely textured surface. Fine pale flecks create a soft, even mottling rather than a defined pattern.

About this fabric

This Apollo Plus colourway has a dark blue-grey tone that sits close to charcoal, with the cool blue showing through the otherwise deep ground. Its dense surface is visibly peppered with small lighter fibres, giving the carpet a gently varied appearance without a strong motif. The close texture absorbs light overall, while individual flecks add quiet depth across the swatch. Tornado Blue is catalogued as an Easy Clean carpet.

How to use it

Pair this cool charcoal blue-grey with pale timber, soft grey upholstery and brushed metal for a calm contemporary room. Its dark, finely mottled surface can also anchor warmer cream or tan accents without becoming visually flat.

A dense charcoal blue-grey carpet with subtle mottling for a grounded, contemporary scheme.

Tornado 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.
