Shelley Duck Egg

Byron Fabric

Shelley Duck Egg shows a cool, airy blue with a gentle grey cast and a fine woven herringbone look. The small-scale pattern gives the surface quiet movement without overpowering the colour.

About this fabric

This colourway in Fryett's Fabrics' Byron collection is made from 100% polyester and has a usable width of 140cm, with no pattern repeat to match. In the swatch, the duck egg tone reads pale, misty and slightly mineral rather than bright, which softens the zigzag weave detail. The texture appears crisp and lightly napped, giving the surface a neat, tailored finish. It is an easy shade to use when you want a fresh blue that still sits comfortably with restrained interiors.

How to use it

Use Shelley Duck Egg on upholstered dining chairs, cushions or headboards where its cool blue-grey tone can lift a neutral scheme. It also works well with chalk white, smoked oak and brushed brass for a calm, contemporary look.

A cool duck egg tone that feels fresh and easy to layer with pale neutrals or weathered wood.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Shelley Duck Egg 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.
