Town Carbon Blue

Name: Town Carbon Blue
Brand: Mark Alexander

Town Carbon Blue presents a quiet, cool blue-grey surface with the depth of carbon rather than a bright or saturated blue. Its plain face is enlivened by a fine, subtly directional weave visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

This is a plain fabric with an even blue-grey tone that shifts gently between slate and carbon blue across the woven surface. The close texture is delicate rather than pronounced, giving the colourway a composed, tailored appearance without a visible motif. Town Carbon Blue is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted for this exact colourway.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a neat upholstered chair or sofa where its understated texture can read as tailored and architectural. It would also bring a calm carbon-blue note to curtains or blinds, particularly alongside warm timber, pale stone or soft neutrals.

A cool carbon-blue plain weave with restrained texture for tailored upholstery or softly structured window treatments.

Town Carbon 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.
