About this fabric

7862/A28 is a near-black plain with a barely visible, fine surface texture rather than a visible motif. Its dark surface absorbs most of the light, while slight tonal variation keeps it from reading as a perfectly flat black. No performance features are noted for this fabric, so no composition, width or rub-test figure is supplied.

How to use it

Use this softened black on tailored seating where a deep, low-sheen finish is wanted without the starkness of a completely uniform black. It also gives warm neutrals, natural timber and aged metal a strong, understated backdrop.

Use this softened black as a deep, quiet upholstery colour alongside warm timber, stone or brushed metal.

7862/A28 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.
