Cumbrae 73 Slate has a cool, deep grey tone that shifts subtly between slate and charcoal across the surface. The close-up reveals a softly brushed texture with gentle directional shading rather than a visible pattern.

About this fabric
This colourway is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted. Its plain surface is built around closely packed, fine-looking fibres that create a lightly mottled grey effect. The slate tone remains muted and cool, while changes in direction produce soft variations from silvery grey to deeper charcoal. The smooth, quietly lustrous finish gives the cloth a smart upholstery character without appearing highly decorative.
How to use it
Use 73 Slate on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its cool grey depth can anchor warmer timber, pale stone and brushed metal. Its lack of a visible motif also makes it easy to pair with patterned cushions in softer blue or muted neutral tones.
A cool slate-grey upholstery fabric with a softly brushed surface and restrained, directional sheen.

Pairs well with
73 Slate 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.
