Gramercy Grey Teal is a cool, subdued velvet with a blue-green cast and cloudy tonal variation across the surface. Its softly changing nap gives the colour depth without creating a defined pattern.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, this Mark Alexander colourway has a plush-looking surface with a gently mottled, almost weathered effect. The grey base tempers the teal, giving it a quiet, mineral character rather than a bright or saturated blue-green appearance. Subtle shifts in the pile catch the light unevenly, moving between softer grey and deeper teal across the swatch. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool grey teal on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its velvety depth can be seen in changing light. Pair it with warm ivory, pale timber and aged brass to balance its blue-green tone.

A cool, softly mottled grey teal velvet that brings depth and understated richness to upholstered seating.

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.
