89 Jean
Bute Fabric89
89 Jean is a cool, dusty slate blue with a softly plush surface and gentle tonal depth. The close texture catches the light unevenly, creating a quiet shift between blue-grey and deeper slate.

About this fabric
The swatch shows a plain, velvety-looking textile with a fine nap and subtle directional shading rather than a visible motif. Its cool slate-blue tone is muted rather than bright, giving the surface a smoky, understated character. Light moving across the nap brings out soft blue-grey highlights alongside deeper blue shadows. No performance features are noted in the supplied information, so the fabric should be assessed against the requirements of its intended upholstery application.
How to use it
Use this smoky slate blue on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its plush surface can show changing tonal depth. Its cool, softened colour suits rooms that need a calm blue anchor without a vivid or overly nautical feel.
A cool, smoky blue with a plush nap for tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with
89 Jean 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.
