Modena Lime

Modena Fabric13122

Modena Lime is a bright, energetic plain with a lively yellow-lime surface and a soft, gently mottled sheen. The colour reads vivid and punchy rather than pale, with a warm green cast that catches the light across the pile.

About this fabric

From the Modena collection by J Brown, this plain fabric is woven in 100% polyester and specified for contract use, with an impressive 80,000 Martindale rub test. The swatch shows a vivid lime-yellow tone with a subtly striated, velvety texture that shifts from golden chartreuse to deeper mossy notes as the light moves over it. It is supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, and other treatments are available on request. After care is listed as Professional Dry Clean In situ or Washable @ 40°C, with further guidance in the pattern book. The overall effect is bold but usable, especially where a bright plain is needed without any visible pattern distraction.

How to use it

Use Modena Lime to lift a neutral scheme, especially on an occasional chair, banquette or statement headboard where its yellow-green glow can add freshness. It pairs well with charcoal, warm oak and crisp white for a cleaner, more contemporary look.

A lively lime tone that works well on tailored seating or accent pieces.

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.
