Apache Dark Blue

Name: Apache Dark Blue
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 75

Apache Dark Blue is a deep, nearly black navy textile with a remarkably even appearance across the swatch. Its fine, compact weave gives the colour a restrained surface texture rather than a pronounced pattern.

About this fabric

The close, fine weave is visible as a subtle diagonal grain, while the very dark blue tone absorbs most of the light and reads almost ink-black at the centre of the swatch. There is no visible motif or contrast pattern, making the colour and understated texture the defining features of this Dedar fabric. The supplied listing notes no performance features or additional specification data for this exact colourway. Its balanced, non-fluid appearance makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Apache Dark Blue to bring depth to a calm, tailored room: it works particularly well on a clean-lined chair or sofa with ivory, chalk, tobacco or aged brass accents. As curtains, its near-black navy tone will create a noticeably cocooning backdrop.

Use this deep ink navy as a grounding neutral on upholstery, curtains or cushions, particularly against pale wood and warm white walls.

Pairs well with

Apache Dark 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.
