M574 Anthracite is a deep charcoal-grey textile from Mark Alexander’s Moderna collection. Its surface appears finely woven and softly mottled, with subtle lighter flecks that prevent the shade from reading as flat black.

About this fabric

The colour sits in a cool, mineral grey range, with a dark depth that gives the swatch a composed, architectural feel. Close up, the even textile surface shows a fine grain and scattered tonal variation in charcoal, graphite and softer grey. There is no visible motif or repeat; the interest comes from the restrained weave and gently irregular colour. No composition, width, rub test or additional performance specification is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Pair M574 Anthracite with pale stone, chalk or warm timber to soften its cool charcoal depth, or use it on seating within a tonal grey scheme for a more tailored look.

Use this deep anthracite shade to give upholstered seating a quietly tailored, contemporary finish.

M574 Anthracite 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.
