Sahara Iii Olive

Sahara III Olive is a quiet, muted olive green with a close, even weave visible across the swatch. Fine tonal variation keeps the plain surface from looking flat, while its low sheen gives the colour a grounded, matte character.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a plain woven texture in a balanced olive tone, with subtle lighter and darker threads creating gentle depth across the surface. Its green has a softened, earthy quality rather than a bright or saturated appearance, making the colour read as calm and quietly natural. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so suitability should be confirmed against the intended upholstery or drapery application.

How to use it

Use this muted olive colour to bring depth to a neutral room, especially on a plain upholstered chair, sofa, or relaxed curtain where its fine texture can be seen up close. Pair it with warm timber, stone, oat, and other softened natural shades.

A muted olive woven texture that brings an earthy, understated tone to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

Sahara Iii Olive 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.
