Ashton Ink Blue

Name: Ashton Ink Blue
Brand: Isle Mill

The Ashton Ink Blue swatch is a near-black navy textile with a cool, inky cast. Its surface is animated by barely lighter and darker blue threads forming irregular vertical movement, visible without becoming a conventional stripe.

About this fabric

Ashton Ink Blue reads as a very deep, cool navy, with its almost-black depth softened by faint blue variation across the surface. Fine, irregular vertical striations run through the dense-looking weave, giving the cloth a quietly tactile, lightly grainy appearance rather than a flat plain. No composition, width, rub-test result or performance feature has been supplied for this exact fabric, so those details should be confirmed before ordering for a particular application.

How to use it

Use this cool, near-black navy on a tailored chair or sofa, where the subtle vertical texture adds depth without competing with surrounding furnishings. Its restrained blue variation will sit comfortably with pale neutrals, charcoal and warm timber.

A cool, near-black navy with subtle vertical texture for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Ashton Ink 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.
