About this fabric

The shade reads as a muted Indian blue softened with grey, rather than a bright or saturated blue. A fine, even weave is clearly visible across the swatch, creating delicate tonal variation as the surface catches the light. The plain construction keeps the design restrained while the small woven texture prevents it from appearing flat. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey as a calm upholstery or drapery colour alongside chalky whites, pale timber and soft grey-blue accents. Its restrained tone also works well as a quiet foundation for darker navy or warmer natural textures.

A cool, finely textured blue-grey plain weave that brings quiet colour and subtle surface interest to upholstery or drapery.

Pairs well with

M650 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.
