About this fabric

M649 Indian Blue is shown as a finely woven plain with a pale, cool blue-grey tone rather than a strong, saturated blue. Tiny shifts in the yarns create a soft, lightly mottled surface, while the close, even weave keeps the appearance quietly tailored. No composition, width, rub test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this pale blue-grey on relaxed seating, Roman blinds or full-length curtains where its cool tone can soften warmer neutrals. Pair it with chalky whites, light timber and muted grey-blue accents to echo the swatch’s calm, lightly textured character.

A finely woven pale blue-grey plain that brings quiet colour and subtle texture to upholstery or drapery.

M649 Indian 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.
