M650 Gunmetal

Timeless Plains Fabric

M650 Gunmetal is a quietly dimensional plain woven fabric, shown here in a deep charcoal grey softened by warm taupe-brown undertones. Its closely packed surface gives the colour a measured, tactile depth rather than a flat block of grey.

About this fabric

The fine, even weave is clearly visible across the swatch, with tiny light and dark threads creating a subtle peppered effect. This gunmetal colourway sits between charcoal, brown-grey and taupe, giving it a warmer, more grounded character than a blue-based grey. It is catalogued as a Fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Pair M650 Gunmetal with pale oak, aged brass and warm stone for a restrained contemporary scheme, or use it against off-white boucle and textured linens to bring definition without adding strong colour. Its deep grey-brown tone is especially effective on seating or full-length curtains where the weave can catch changing light.

Use this grounded gunmetal grey as a versatile neutral alongside timber, stone, leather and softer woven textures.

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.
