What fabric and piping are on the cushion in your listing photo?

Also asked as:What color is photo 10?Which pattern number is the first photo?

The piping that glows orange on your phone is mustard in daylight. A screenshot of the exact photo turns a guess into two codes.

The quick answer

Send a screenshot of the exact listing photo, and the workshop names both the fabric code and the piping code. Listings show several cushions, so the screenshot removes the guesswork. The mustard velvet, for example, is P-60 with P-61 piping, and the navy with ivory piping is P-66 with P-52. For older, renumbered photos, write 'same as the first picture.'

Why the orange piping is really mustard

Listings are crowded rooms. One photo can hold a whole stack of cushions, so a screenshot of the exact picture tells the workshop which one caught your eye. What comes back is two codes: the fabric, and the piping that frames it.

Piping is where screens fool people most. P-61 glows orange on a phone, yet beside P-60 velvet in daylight it settles into a warm, golden mustard. Daylight never lies; your screen sometimes does. If the tone matters, ask for close-ups and a photo of a finished cushion in the same pairing, or follow the fabric swatches pattern before you commit.

Older photos carry older numbers. When a code has been renumbered, write 'same as the first picture' in your note and the workshop matches it; if the fabric is no longer stocked, it proposes the closest one, such as N1. The full range sits on the bench cushions page, and screen versus daylight explains why a tone shifts between rooms.

So tell me, my friends: which photo stopped your scroll?

A screenshot of the exact listing photo gets two codes back: the fabric and the piping, such as P-60 velvet with P-61 piping.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    The piping on your first listing photo looks orange. What fabric and piping is that cushion?

    The workshop's answer

    That cushion is P-60 with P-61 piping. P-61 isn't really orange; it reads more mustard in real life. The workshop can send close-ups and a photo of a finished cushion in the same combination so you see the true colors.

  2. A common question

    Which code is the cranberry cushion, and the light one sitting on top of the stack?

    The workshop's answer

    The cranberry is 938 and the light gray-cream on top of the stack is N78. Sunlight and camera angle can make a tone look slightly different, but it's the same fabric.

  3. A common question

    The photo I like is an older one. What if its codes have changed since?

    The workshop's answer

    Write 'same as the first picture' and the workshop matches it, even if the codes were later renumbered. Where it can, it names them: photo 10, for example, is 916 with 914 piping.

  4. A common question

    My old color code isn't on the chart or in the dropdown anymore. Can I still get it?

    The workshop's answer

    Ask the workshop. Codes are sometimes renumbered, missing colors can be re-added for reorders, and truly discontinued fabrics get a nearest-match suggestion, often in velvet or linen.

Questions buyers ask next

Is the fabric I receive the same one shown in the listing photo?

Yes. Sunlight and camera angle can make a tone look slightly different in a photo, but it is the same fabric. If the exact shade matters in your room, ask for close-ups or a swatch before ordering.

Can my order copy a listing photo's colorway exactly?

Yes. Ask for the photo's colorway, send the screenshot, and put both codes in your note. If that fabric is out of stock, the workshop proposes the closest match, such as N1, before anything is cut.

Is the white linen in the listing photos pure white or cream?

L-01 is the whiter linen, described as pure white, while L-02, the best seller, is a warm cream with no gray in it. Ask for close-ups when white versus cream matters against your walls.
