Carrera Lime

Leon Fabric

Carrera Lime is a clean, even cotton cloth in a muted lime-yellow shade with a soft matte finish. The colour reads fresh and slightly earthy, with a gentle warmth rather than a bright citrus edge.

About this fabric

This colourway in the Leon collection by Porter & Stone is made from 100% cotton and has a 140cm width with a 0cm pattern repeat. The surface shows a fine, closely woven texture that keeps the lime tone calm and consistent across the cloth. Its yellow-green cast feels softened and desaturated, so it sits between chartreuse and moss rather than reading as a strong acid lime. With no visible pattern repeat, the fabric has an understated, continuous look that suits schemes needing colour without visual busyness.

How to use it

Use Carrera Lime to bring a lively but restrained accent to pale woods, chalky whites or warm neutrals. It is especially effective on tailored seating, loose covers or simple blinds where the colour can stay the focus.

A fresh lime tone that works well across clean-lined upholstery and simple curtains.

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