17 Plum
Columbia Fabric17
17 Plum is a remarkably deep plum shade that reads almost black in the darker areas of the swatch. Its softly light-catching surface brings out quiet tonal movement across the otherwise plain ground.

About this fabric
The swatch is an almost-black plum with a cool purple depth, rather than a bright or red-led purple. A very short, even pile gives the surface a quiet velvet-like richness, while subtle changes in the light prevent the colour from appearing completely flat. The supplied record lists no performance features and provides no further specification data for this colourway.
How to use it
Use 17 Plum on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its near-black purple tone can provide depth. Pair it with aged brass, warm timber or softly contrasting pale neutrals to reveal the shade's tonal richness.
A deep, light-catching plum with a quietly luxurious surface for upholstery.

Pairs well with
17 Plum 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.
