Name: Palermo Sky
Brand: J Brown
SKU: 21

Palermo Sky is a soft, powdery blue plain with a calm, lightly heathered surface and a gentle matte finish. The colour reads fresh and cool, with just enough depth in the weave to keep it from looking flat.

About this fabric

This Palermo colourway is a 100% polyester plain fabric with a practical General Domestic usage rating and a 25,000 Martindale rub test, making it well suited to everyday interiors. Visually, the swatch shows a pale sky-blue tone with a slightly misty, blue-grey cast rather than a bright or saturated blue. The surface has a fine, tightly woven texture that catches the light softly, giving the cloth a smooth but not shiny appearance. Supplied back coated to Cigarette & Match to BS5852, it can also be machine washed at 30 degrees or professionally dry cleaned in situ, with further care details available in the pattern book.

How to use it

Use Palermo Sky to lighten compact rooms or to soften stronger timber and painted finishes, where its cool, airy tone will keep the scheme feeling relaxed. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and deeper navy accents for a clean, coastal-leaning palette.

A light, airy blue that works neatly across sofas, cushions and relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Palermo Sky 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.
