About this fabric

This colourway is a deep, cool indigo with a blue-charcoal cast, rather than a bright navy. The close weave is visibly fine and even, while tiny tonal shifts and faint vertical irregularities keep the plain surface from looking flat. In the swatch’s darker areas, the texture reads quietly matte; lighter threads pick up a restrained, silvery-blue glint. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use Patina Indigo where a room needs a grounded blue-charcoal note, such as a tailored chair, sofa, or full-length curtain. It works especially well beside chalky whites, pale woods, and softly weathered metallics that bring out its cooler woven highlights.

A cool, blue-charcoal indigo plain that brings depth to upholstery and drapery without visual fuss.

Pairs well with

Patina Indigo 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.
