Carrera Gallant Grey reads as a dark, understated charcoal with a softly mottled woven surface. The close-up texture gives the plain a quiet depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

This colourway from the Carrera collection is a plain design in 100% polyester, specified for contract use and tested to 80,000 Martindale. The swatch shows a deep grey-black ground with fine lighter flecks that catch the light and break up the surface. Its tight woven texture feels robust and practical, while the overall effect stays restrained and smart. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and can be professionally cleaned in situ or washed at 40℃, with further care details in the pattern book.

How to use it

Gallant Grey works well on clean-lined seating where the dark tone can frame the shape without shouting for attention. Pair it with pale timber, concrete, or crisp white accents to bring out the cool, smoky variation in the weave.

A deep charcoal plain with subtle woven texture for tailored upholstery schemes.

Pairs well with

Carrera Gallant Grey 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.
