About this fabric
The colour sits between creamy ivory and light greige, with a gentle warmth that keeps it from reading stark white. Fine crossing threads create a subtle woven texture, while the low-contrast surface gives the shade a quiet, lightly tactile depth. As a fabric in the Rye collection, this plain colourway offers a restrained foundation for upholstery or drapery without introducing a visible motif.
How to use it
Use 04 Shell to keep a room light and settled, particularly on relaxed seating, Roman blinds or full-length curtains. Pair its warm shell tone with natural wood, oat, stone and softly aged metals.
A softly warm neutral with a fine woven surface for calm, understated upholstery or window treatments.

04 Shell 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.
