32 Taupe
Columbia Fabric32
Columbia 32 Taupe has a quiet olive cast that shifts gently towards taupe across the surface. Its close, understated weave is enlivened by subtle vertical tonal variation rather than a visible motif.

About this fabric
The swatch is a muted, earthy olive-taupe, with a softened depth that keeps the green from appearing bright or saturated. A fine, even woven texture is visible across the face, with faint vertical changes in tone catching the light and adding restrained movement. The cloth reads as an adaptable mid-weight for upholstery or drapery from its appearance, although no further specification data is supplied. The supplied record lists no performance features.
How to use it
Pair this subdued olive-taupe with warm timber, chalky neutrals and aged brass for a grounded scheme, or use it to temper stronger rust and ochre accents. Its low-contrast surface is especially suited to clean upholstery shapes and relaxed curtains.
Use this subdued olive-taupe as a calm, grounding neutral on upholstery or softly tailored window treatments.

32 Taupe 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.
