M556 Grey Mist

Shibu Fabric

M556 Grey Mist presents a pale, cool grey surface with a delicate vertical striation running consistently through the cloth. The close weave gives the colour a softly dimensional, misted appearance rather than a flat block of grey.

About this fabric

The visible surface is formed by very fine vertical lines and closely packed horizontal threads, creating a subtle woven texture. Its cool grey tone is light and restrained, with gentle tonal variation where the threads catch the light. The narrow striation gives the cloth a quiet sense of height and direction without becoming a bold stripe. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool, pale grey for full-length curtains or relaxed Roman blinds where the fine vertical texture can add calm definition without darkening the room. It would sit naturally with white, soft grey and other cool neutrals.

The cool, misted grey and fine vertical texture would bring understated definition to softly tailored curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside M556 Grey Mist without fighting it. 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.
