Ion Indian Ink
Ion Fabric
Ion Indian Ink is a deep charcoal shade that reads almost black at first glance, while its softly varied surface keeps the colour from appearing flat. Fine cloudy shifts across the swatch give this dark colourway a quietly tactile character.

About this fabric
The swatch shows a dense-looking textile surface with subtle tonal variation throughout, moving between charcoal, graphite and near-black. Its irregular, softly brushed-looking texture catches the light in muted patches rather than forming a defined motif. This colourway is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. The deep Indian Ink tone gives the cloth a composed, architectural feel without the starkness of a uniform black.
How to use it
Use this cool charcoal grey for an upholstered armchair, sofa or headboard where its depth can anchor a room. Warm timber, ivory boucle and aged brass will soften the near-black tone, while pale stone shades will emphasise its graphite character.
Use this cool, near-black charcoal tone on a statement chair or sofa, balancing it with warm timber and soft off-white textiles.

Pairs well with
Ion Indian Ink 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.
