About this fabric
The colour reads as a subdued lilac rather than a bright purple, with grey and taupe threads tempering its coolness. Fine, closely spaced horizontal lines create a lightly striated surface, while the softly varied yarns prevent the shade from looking flat. The fabric has a calm, relaxed character and a visually even handle suited to both upholstery and drapery applications. No performance features are noted for this colourway.
How to use it
Use 40 Lilac to bring a restrained mauve note to a neutral room, pairing it with warm stone, chalky beige or soft grey. Its low-contrast horizontal texture works particularly well on understated seating, cushions or full-length curtains.
A softly muted lilac weave with a taupe-grey cast, suited to calm upholstery and drapery schemes.
Pairs well with
40 Lilac 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.
