83 Biro
Bute Fabric83
83 Biro is a deep, near-midnight blue with a subtle indigo cast. Its close, shadowed surface catches the light gently, giving the swatch a quietly luxurious depth.

About this fabric
The colour reads as a saturated ink blue, darker than a standard navy and softened by a faint purple-blue undertone. A fine, even texture is visible across the swatch, with no printed motif or contrasting pattern. Soft directional sheen appears where the fabric folds, shifting the surface from blue-black shadow to a slightly brighter blue highlight. Its dense-looking handle and plush visual character make it especially convincing on upholstered seating.
How to use it
Use 83 Biro on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair when a room needs a deep cool anchor. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and softer neutral textiles to keep the dark blue feeling rich rather than severe.
Use this deep ink-blue colourway to bring a rich, quietly dramatic finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with
83 Biro 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.
