Ballantrae 23 Midnight is a deep, cool navy textile with an almost black cast in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Its close, softly irregular weave adds quiet surface depth without introducing a visible pattern.

About this fabric

The fabric appears densely woven, with fine raised threads creating a lightly napped, almost brushed texture across the surface. Midnight blue is layered with subtle blue-grey and charcoal variation, so the colour reads deeper where the pile or weave turns away from the light and softer where it catches. No composition, width, rub-test or performance figures are supplied for this colourway; its upholstery classification is based on the substantial-looking woven surface shown here.

How to use it

Use this cool, dark navy on a structured armchair, sofa or headboard where its nearly black depth can anchor a room. Pair it with chalky whites, stone, aged timber or muted brass to bring out the restrained blue-grey texture.

Use this cool, near-black blue on tailored upholstery, balancing it with pale timber, warm neutrals or brushed metal.

23 Midnight 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.
