Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Which color number in the linen range is white, or the closest to it?

    The workshop's answer

    There is no pure white linen. Color 19 is a cream very close to white and matches the lightest cushion in the photos. Numbers are used in the velvet range too, where 14 is brick or burnt orange, 19 is a blue, 11 a dusty pink and 34 a khaki green.

  2. A common question

    I need pet-friendly colors that go with an oatmeal and charcoal gray scheme. Which codes should I pick?

    The workshop's answer

    G-47 is the oatmeal, a warm cream, and G-48 is one shade deeper beige. G-61 is a true deep charcoal gray, while G-62 is darker, an almost-black anthracite. For oatmeal and charcoal, the pairing is G-47 with G-61.
