Kilgour Plain Navy

Name: Kilgour Plain Navy
Brand: Zinc Textile

Kilgour Plain Navy is a deep, cool navy textile with a quiet vertical grain across its plain face. Fine variations in the weave keep the dark blue from appearing completely flat.

About this fabric

The colour reads close to ink navy, with a slightly softened blue cast rather than a bright or saturated marine tone. Narrow vertical slubs and delicate lighter threads run through the surface, creating a restrained pinstriped texture without forming a pattern. The dense-looking woven face catches small highlights along the raised threads, giving the dark shade gentle dimension. No further specification data is supplied for this fabric.

How to use it

Pair this cool, deep navy with warm ivory, pale oak or muted grey to create a balanced scheme, or use it on tailored upholstery where its subtle vertical texture can be seen up close.

Use this cool ink navy to bring depth to tailored seating, especially alongside pale woods, chalky neutrals and brushed metal.

Pairs well with

Kilgour Plain Navy 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.
