Cayman Zinc is a quietly earthy plain with a muted olive-green cast and a softly textured surface. The shade reads calm and grounded, with just enough depth to give upholstery a settled, lived-in feel.

About this fabric

This colourway sits in a cool, muted olive range, with the tiny woven texture visible across the surface giving it a soft matte appearance. It is a 100% polyester fabric designed for general domestic use and has a 25,000 Martindale rating, making it a practical choice for everyday interiors. The plain design keeps the focus on the colour’s subtle green-grey balance rather than on pattern, so it feels understated and versatile. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it can also be machine washed at 30℃ or professionally dry cleaned in situ, subject to the pattern book guidance.

How to use it

Use Cayman Zinc on an armchair, banquette or neat sofa to bring an earthy, modern note without strong contrast. It pairs especially well with pale oak, stone, charcoal and other softened greens.

A soft olive tone that works neatly across tailored seating and calm, understated schemes.

Pairs well with

Cayman Zinc 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.
