Name: Turo Ink
Brand: Zinc Textile

Turo Ink is a profoundly dark ink blue velvet, reading almost black in the shadowed areas of the swatch. Its softly directional surface catches just enough light to reveal the nap without becoming glossy.

About this fabric

This colourway has a cool, blue-black depth that gives the plain surface a quietly dramatic character. The fine velvet nap creates subtle tonal shifts across the swatch, moving between softened charcoal and concentrated ink as the light changes. Catalogued as Velvet, Turo Ink has no performance features noted in the supplied specification. Its dense-looking surface and dark, even colour make it particularly suited to substantial upholstered forms.

How to use it

Use Turo Ink on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its near-black blue tone can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, smoked timber and brushed metal to bring out the cool depth without making the scheme feel flat.

A near-black ink blue velvet with a quiet nap sheen for deeply coloured, tailored upholstery.

Pairs well with

Turo Ink 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.
