About this fabric

The colour reads as a balanced, cool grey, with lighter and darker threads creating a gently clouded effect across the surface. Its closely woven appearance is defined by delicate horizontal lines rather than a printed pattern, giving the cloth a quiet, tailored character. The supplied specification lists no performance features for this colourway, so suitability should be assessed against the requirements of the intended upholstery or drapery project.

How to use it

Use Orion Skylight to bring a calm, cool-grey note to contemporary seating, headboards or softly structured curtains. Pair it with chalky whites, charcoal accents and pale natural timber to highlight the weave’s understated tonal depth.

A cool mid-grey ground with fine horizontal texture, suited to calm upholstery and drapery schemes.

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.
