M646 Indigo

Name: M646 Indigo
Brand: Mark Alexander

M646 Indigo is a cool, blue-grey interpretation of the Odyssey collection, with a deep indigo ground crossed by irregular horizontal striations. Its closely woven surface gives the colour a softly weathered depth rather than a flat, solid appearance.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a dense woven textile in deep indigo-blue, softened by slate-grey threads and varied horizontal bands. Fine linear texture runs across the surface, while lighter striations catch the light unevenly to create a layered, atmospheric effect. The pattern is directional and low-contrast, giving the cloth a composed, tailored character. No composition, width or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use M646 Indigo on a structured armchair, headboard or sofa where its cool blue-grey depth can anchor a room. Pair it with chalky walls, pale oak and small accents of rust or ochre for warmth.

Use this cool indigo weave to bring depth to tailored upholstery and balance it with pale timber or warm neutrals.

M646 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.
