Cairn 08 Zinc is a cool, pale grey woven fabric with a restrained, quietly tactile character. The swatch shows a close, even ground enlivened by fine vertical irregularities rather than a defined motif.

About this fabric
The colour reads as a softened zinc grey, with a subtly warm, taupe-like depth beneath its predominantly cool surface. Its close weave has a fine grain and delicate slubby lines that create gentle tonal movement as the light shifts across it. There is no printed pattern; the interest comes from the restrained variation within the woven texture. The supplied record notes no performance features, so no performance claim is made here.
How to use it
Use this softened zinc grey to give a room a calm, tailored foundation, especially alongside chalky whites, pale timber and deeper charcoal accents. Its unobtrusive woven texture can work across upholstered seating or simple full-length curtains without competing with stronger pattern.
The softly textured zinc-grey weave brings quiet depth to upholstery, curtains and other tailored interiors.

08 Zinc 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.
