Tango Velvet Parakeet is a saturated, jewel-like green velvet with a clean, unpatterned face. Its nap shifts subtly across the swatch, giving the colour darker tonal depth rather than a flat printed finish.

About this fabric

The swatch shows an uninterrupted field of strong parakeet green, with a vivid, cool-leaning intensity that reads as a confident jewel tone. Its velvet surface catches the light unevenly across the nap, creating soft darker and lighter passages within the otherwise plain colour. The pile-like texture gives the cloth a plush, luxurious visual character suited to upholstery. No composition, width or rub-test data has been supplied for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use this bold parakeet green on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard, where its saturated tone can lead a scheme. Balance the vivid velvet with warm timber, deep neutrals or quieter natural textures.

Use this saturated green velvet to bring jewel-like colour and soft depth to statement upholstery.

Pairs well with

Tango Velvet Parakeet 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.
