M571 Indigo

Name: M571 Indigo
Brand: Mark Alexander

M571 Indigo combines a cool indigo ground with pale grey threads that create a softly mottled, blue-grey appearance. Its close irregular crosshatch gives the swatch a distinct woven texture rather than a flat, solid colour.

About this fabric

M571 Indigo reads as a restrained, cool indigo rather than a flat navy, with lighter grey threads gently lifting its depth. Fine dark and light lines form a tight, irregular crosshatch across the surface, creating visible texture and small-scale movement. The dense-looking weave gives this fabric a considered upholstery character, particularly where a quiet pattern is preferred over a plain cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification, so suitability should be confirmed against the requirements of the intended project.

How to use it

Use this blue-grey colourway on an armchair, dining seat or tailored sofa where its muted indigo tone can anchor softer grey, chalk, stone and natural timber accents. The fine crosshatch also works well alongside plain cushions in warm ivory or tobacco shades.

Pair the cool indigo ground with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal for a balanced scheme.

M571 Indigo 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.
