About this fabric
The colour reads as a restrained plum softened with charcoal-grey, giving the surface a dusky rather than vivid appearance. Fine vertical lines create a subtle stripe effect, while the changing direction of the folds brings out lighter and darker bands across the cloth. The close, even texture gives this colourway a smart, quietly structured character without a bold motif. Its visible drape makes it suitable to consider for both upholstered pieces and window treatments.
How to use it
Pair Racer Plumb with warm ivory, mushroom and charcoal tones to balance its cool, greyed depth. On a chair or cushion, the fine striation can add texture without competing with larger-scale patterns.
Use its greyed plum tone and fine vertical texture to add understated depth to seating, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Racer Plumb without fighting it. 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.
