Crillon Mauve

Name: Crillon Mauve
Brand: Zinc Textile

Crillon Mauve appears as a quiet, greyed mauve with a fine, cloudy surface rather than a visible motif. Its low-contrast texture gives the colour softly shadowed depth.

About this fabric

This Zinc Textile fabric is from the Parisienne collection and is shown here as a patternless textile with a close, softly brushed-looking surface. The mauve is cool and subdued, sitting near smoky grey rather than reading as a bright or pink purple. Fine tonal variation across the face keeps the plain colour from looking flat, while the diffuse surface gently softens the light. No composition, width, rub-test or performance data has been supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Use the cool smoky-mauve tone on a tailored chair, headboard or sofa where its quiet depth can sit comfortably with grey, charcoal and aged timber. Keep surrounding colours muted to preserve the swatch’s soft, atmospheric character.

A cool, smoky mauve with a softly mottled surface for understated upholstered pieces.

Crillon Mauve 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.
