Cayman Anthracite

Cayman Anthracite is a deep, shadowy plain with a subtle green-black cast and a softly textured surface. The finish looks understated and modern, with just enough depth to keep the colour from reading flat.

About this fabric

Part of the Cayman collection by J Brown, this fabric is a plain design with 39 colourways and is made from 100% polyester. The swatch shows a very dark anthracite tone that leans green rather than true grey, with a muted, almost smoked depth across the surface. Its fine textural grain catches the light gently, giving the cloth a quiet movement without breaking the solid look. With a 25,000 Martindale rating and General Domestic suitability, it is practical for everyday interior use, while the supplied back coating to Cigarette & Match to BS5852 adds an important performance benefit. Care is straightforward too, with machine washing at 30℃ or professional dry clean in situ as directed.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a clean-lined sofa or accent chair to create a grounded, tailored look. It pairs especially well with pale oak, chalky neutrals and brushed metal finishes, where its deep green-black tone can act as a strong anchor.

A dark, versatile tone that works well on tailored seating and can be softened with lighter neutrals.

Pairs well with

Cayman Anthracite 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.
