Benbecula Fabric49

Benbecula 49 Grey has a cool, clouded grey appearance, with charcoal shading moving softly through the lighter ground. Its close-up surface shows a fine woven grain that gives the colour subtle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The swatch combines pale grey and deeper graphite tones in an irregular, softly blurred distribution. Fine, closely set threads create a lightly textured surface, while the darker areas appear to shift gently across the cloth as the light changes. This colourway is catalogued as a fabric, and no performance features are noted in the supplied specification. The overall effect is restrained and quietly dimensional, with a cooler character than a warm stone or taupe neutral.

How to use it

Use 49 Grey on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its cool tonal variation can soften a monochrome scheme without becoming stark. Pair it with chalky whites, brushed metal and deeper charcoal accents to draw out the swatch’s layered shading.

A cool, softly mottled grey with enough tonal movement to add depth to tailored upholstery.

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.
