Question 1

Which Thibaut fabric themes carry the most green?

Accepted Answer

Green concentrates in the botanical, tropical and chinoiserie groups, because those motifs are built from foliage and the green is usually the structural color rather than an accent. Stripes, checks and trellis patterns carry green too, but as one color in a scheme rather than the subject. Filtering by theme and then by green is a faster route than scrolling the color filter.

Question 2

How do I pick the right green out of a multicolor botanical?

Accepted Answer

Work from the green that occupies the most area rather than the one that catches your eye first, since that is the color the room will read from across the room. Hold the memo at the distance the fabric will actually be seen from. A leaf green printed over a cream ground and the same green over a dark ground will behave as two different colors.

Question 3

Is green available in performance and outdoor fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Green runs through Thibaut's indoor and outdoor assortment, which is fade resistant and water repellent, and outdoor upholstery fabrics carry a three year warranty. It also appears in the heavy duty upholstery and coated performance groups. Filter by recommended use first and then by color, since that narrows a large green selection to the constructions that suit the job.

Question 4

What colors complement green fabric?

Accepted Answer

Green sits most easily next to warm neutrals, brown and soft pink, because all three carry the red side of the wheel that green lacks. Cream and champagne grounds keep a green print from reading heavy. Blue and aqua work when one of the two is clearly dominant. For a scheme built on a Thibaut green print, pull the secondary color out of the print itself and order memos of both before committing.

Question 5

What are the different types of green fabric?

Accepted Answer

Green fabrics divide by construction more usefully than by shade. Thibaut greens appear on printed cottons and linens, on jacquard and matelasse wovens, on cut velvets, on embroideries where green thread sits over a separate ground cloth, and on coated performance and indoor/outdoor cloths. Each carries the color differently because the fiber and the surface change how light comes back off it. Recommended use and durability data sit on the specifications tab of every product page.
