Palermo Purple is a deep, velvety plum fabric with a softly mottled surface and a quiet, understated finish. The colour sits in a dark purple register, reading rich rather than bright.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Palermo Purple combines a substantial 452gsm handle with a 40,000 Martindale rub test, making it suitable for curtains, blinds and upholstery. The swatch shows a dense, low-sheen texture that softens the purple into a smoky plum shade with near-black depth in the shadows. There is no visible pattern repeat, so the emphasis stays on the colour and the slightly brushed look of the surface. Dry clean only and do not iron.

How to use it

Use this shade on a statement armchair or tailored drapes where its dark plum tone can create a cocooning, refined feel. It works especially well with walnut timber, brass accents and warm neutrals.

A rich plum tone that adds depth and warmth to tailored seating or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

Palermo purple 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.
