Moon Lead

Compass Fabric

Moon Lead is a deep, cool grey textile with a softly mottled surface that gives the colour quiet depth. Its low-contrast texture keeps the swatch understated while preventing the shade from appearing flat.

About this fabric

The image shows a lead-grey ground with subtle tonal variation across the surface, shifting gently between charcoal grey and softer slate-grey flecks. A fine, even textile texture is visible rather than a pronounced motif, giving the colour a calm, tailored appearance. The supplied record lists no performance features or further specification data, so composition, width and rub rating are not stated.

How to use it

Use this cool, deep grey on a clean-lined sofa or occasional chair where its muted texture can soften the form without adding pattern. It would also bring a composed, shadowy note to curtains in a neutral or blue-grey room.

The cool lead-grey tone and softly textured surface suit tailored upholstery or calm, full-length curtains.

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.
