Colour & Finish
- Colour: A deep, cool-toned dark grey—sitting firmly between charcoal and graphite. Not as stark as black, but still bold and modern.
- Tone/Depth: Consistently saturated from top to bottom, giving a clean, uninterrupted look across each vane.
- Finish: Matte with an extremely fine, almost velvety grain. No sheen, no gloss—just a smooth, understated surface.
- Visual impact: The matte dark grey introduces a sophisticated, architectural line across the window. Against white skirting boards and pale floors (as shown), the contrast is elegant rather than harsh.

Material Look & Construction
- Fabric feel (appearance): A tight, uniform polyester weave. The texture reads smooth and subtle—crisp, contemporary, and designed to sit quietly within the room rather than draw attention.
- Opacity: Light Filtering—softens daylight, reduces glare, and offers comfortable daytime privacy without blackout levels of darkening.
- Practical note: Tightly woven, matte polyester fabrics like this are low‑maintenance. They brush clean easily, resist dust cling, and stand up well in busy family spaces, offices, and rental properties.
