Patagonia Fabric

Capri noir is a deep, near-black plain with a subtle charcoal cast and a fine woven surface. The dark tone reads sleek and quiet rather than glossy, giving the fabric a restrained modern edge.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a very deep charcoal black, with just enough variation in the weave to soften the finish and keep it from looking flat. The plain surface gives it a clean, unfussy character, while the close weave visible in the swatch suggests a fabric that can sit comfortably in both tailored soft furnishings and seating. No performance features are noted for this Fryett's Fabrics Patagonia fabric, so it is best chosen for its colour and versatile textile feel. In this shade, the cloth absorbs light more than it reflects it, which makes the black read rich and grounded rather than stark.

How to use it

Use Capri noir to anchor lighter schemes, where its dark, smoky tone can sharpen pale linens, stone neutrals or warm timber. It also works well in a layered monochrome room, where the subtle woven texture adds depth without introducing pattern.

A versatile dark neutral that feels sleek and understated in either upholstery or drapery.

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.
