The Cutting Table · a checklist answer

What's the color code for the corduroy, velvet or outdoor fabric in your photos?

Also asked as:What fabric is the green one?What color code is the brick?

A photograph is a color with its name torn off. My friends, you only have to ask, and the name comes back as a code.

Soft ticking stripes in blue and sand follow each curved bench, with oatmeal throws ready for cooler evenings.

The quick answer

Ask, and the workshop names the code and can send a close-up: brick corduroy is COR-205, Off-White COR-201, the middle beige COR-202 and the deep green COR-207. Forest Green velvet is 126 and the wide blue, beige, sand and white outdoor stripe is V-38. The color charts show colors more accurately than small thumbnails.

Color is easier to settle in a conversation than on a screen. Tell the workshop about the room and the light it gets, and the fabric choice follows. — Élodie

What to send when you ask

  • Which photo: the first listing image, a review photo, the second picture.
  • Which cushion, if there are several: “the middle one,” “the green one.”
  • The fabric you want, if not the one shown; a color name shifts between corduroy, velvet and linen.
  • A request for a close-up of the real fabric.

Why a thumbnail is a poor witness

Corduroy and velvet carry a pile that leans one way, so the same cloth reads lighter or darker with light and angle; the nap is doing it, not the dye. Brick in a buyer's review photo is the same COR-205 as the listing, even when the two look like cousins.

So trust the fabric code over the picture, and compare the corduroy and velvet charts, which show colors more truly than a thumbnail.

There is no darker green in corduroy than COR-207; for a deeper green, the next step is velvet, such as Forest Green 126, or soft fabric 928.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    What's the code for the striped fabric in your outdoor listing photo?

    The workshop's answer

    The wide blue, beige, sand and white stripe is V-38; the thin green stripe is N-21. A green in one customer photo was teddy 18 (922 also possible). Ask, and a close-up is sent.

  2. A common question

    What color code is the all-yellow bench in the first picture?

    The workshop's answer

    That's 920 mustard, a dark yellow. For bright white cotton, the options are Natural03 and H14, and N29 is a navy blue ticking stripe.

  3. A common question

    What color is the beige cushion with the red trim?

    The workshop's answer

    It was cream with orange piping. Other real answers: the cream cushion was velvet 103, the green tufted linen was chart number 5, and the gray was anthracite.

Questions buyers ask next

Is the brick in review photos the same as the listing's brick?

Yes. Both are COR-205. Review photos are taken in buyers' own rooms and light, so the same corduroy can look warmer or darker there than on the listing.

Is there a darker green corduroy than COR-207?

No. COR-207 is the deep green in corduroy. For a darker green, the workshop points to velvet, such as Forest Green 126, or to soft fabric such as 928.

Which white is brightest for a cotton cushion?

Natural03 and H14 are the bright-white cotton options. Off-White COR-201 is a corduroy and an off-white, not a bright white; ask for close-ups of the whites side by side.
