Scratch Blue

Name: Scratch Blue
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 101

Scratch Blue combines a cool, ink-dark navy network with a muted taupe ground. The irregular marks overlap densely across the face, giving the swatch a lively, hand-drawn character with a measured, low-sheen finish.

About this fabric

The fabric has a substantial-looking woven face, with dark navy lines standing clearly against the softer taupe background. Its close, tangled pattern shifts between fine strokes and heavier intersections, creating visible depth without a glossy surface. The blue reads as restrained and slightly softened rather than bright, while the taupe ground keeps the overall colourway grounded and warm. No composition, width or rub-test data is supplied for this listing, and no performance features are noted.

How to use it

Use Scratch Blue where a room needs graphic interest without a vivid accent: it works especially well on a tailored chair or occasional seat alongside warm neutrals, walnut and aged brass.

Pair the cool navy tracery with warm timber, taupe upholstery and softly aged metals.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Scratch Blue without fighting it. 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.
