About this fabric

The swatch shows an understated olive-green shade with brown-grey depth, giving the colour a grounded, low-saturation appearance. A fine, even weave creates a subtle grain across the surface, while the matte finish keeps the tone calm rather than glossy. The textile is catalogued as Fabric and is suited here to upholstery based on its visually compact woven structure. No composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this army olive on an occasional chair, headboard or sofa where its softened green depth can anchor lighter neutrals, walnut tones and aged brass.

Use this subdued army olive as a grounding upholstery colour alongside warm timber, aged leather or natural stone.

04 Army 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.
