About this fabric

The swatch shows a fine, tightly woven structure, with small horizontal and vertical threads creating a subtle textile grain rather than a printed pattern. Its pale French blue carries a distinct grey cast, reading calm and lightly misted instead of bright or saturated. The even surface gives the colour a smart, quietly tailored character while retaining the natural visual variation of woven cloth. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use this cool blue-grey on a tailored sofa, occasional chair or relaxed curtain, pairing it with chalky whites, soft grey and pale timber to keep the room light and composed.

A cool, finely textured blue-grey that brings quiet colour and subtle depth to seating or window treatments.

Pairs well with

Roden French 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.
