About this fabric
The colour reads as a cool charcoal grey, softened by delicate shifts in tone across the cloth rather than a flat, solid finish. Fine vertical and horizontal threads form a restrained woven grid that becomes more apparent at the surface. There is no printed pattern; the character comes from the tight, subtly textured weave and its quiet tonal depth. As a fabric colourway, it offers a composed, architectural look for schemes that need grey with more texture than a plain painted surface.
How to use it
Use this deep carbon grey on a tailored armchair, sofa or roman blind where its cool tone can anchor paler walls and warm wood. It also suits tonal grey layering, especially with brushed metal and softly textured neutrals.
A cool, charcoal-toned plain weave that brings quiet depth to tailored upholstery, curtains or cushions.

Pairs well with
Town Carbon Grey 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.
