Komodo Silk 164 Carbon is a deep, shadowed brown-charcoal fabric with a restrained horizontal grain. Its surface appears subtly irregular, with fine tonal shifts that keep the dark colour from looking flat.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a densely fine-textured textile marked by narrow horizontal striations and occasional darker slub-like interruptions. 164 Carbon sits between charcoal and brown, reading cooler and deeper in the shadowed areas while warmer brown threads emerge across the surface. There is no printed motif; the visual interest comes entirely from the low-contrast woven texture and softly uneven line. As a fabric colourway with a fine, fluid-looking surface, it is particularly well suited to drapery where its dark tone can create depth without a strong pattern.

How to use it

Use 164 Carbon for full-length curtains in a room with warm oak, bronze or aged brass, balancing its dark brown-charcoal tone with ivory upholstery and softly coloured walls.

Use this deep carbon brown as a quietly dramatic drapery neutral, especially alongside warm timber, aged metal and soft ivory.

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.
