Plush Carbon Blue

Name: Plush Carbon Blue
Brand: Mark Alexander

Plush Carbon Blue has a cool, softened blue-grey tone that shifts gently across its plush surface. The close-up shows fine tonal variation rather than a printed motif, giving the colour a quietly dimensional appearance.

About this fabric

This Mark Alexander Plush Ii fabric is catalogued as a Fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its carbon-blue colour sits between slate blue and soft grey, reading muted rather than bright or highly saturated. A fine, velvety-looking nap creates subtle lighter and darker passages across the surface, especially where the pile catches the light. The plain, low-contrast appearance keeps the focus on depth of colour and tactile softness.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its plush surface can add a calm, cocooning note. Pair it with chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal for a lighter scheme, or deepen the room with charcoal and ink-blue accents.

A deep, cool blue-grey plush with gentle tonal variation that brings softness and quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Plush Carbon Blue 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.
