Perma is a deep rust-terracotta, a brick red with the orange pulled back and a good deal of brown behind it. Carpet ranges almost never carry a colour like this, and it is the reason designers keep returning to Westminster....

Empath is a true olive green, and there is very little else like it in broadloom carpet. This is not a grey with a green cast in the way that Synth is; it is a proper moss-olive, deep and slightly...

Waratah is the darkest colour in the Auburn Ridge range: a deep charcoal-grey carrying a fleck that keeps it from reading as a solid block of dark. That fleck matters more here than anywhere else in the palette, because it...

Tea Tree is a light warm greige-taupe with a faint mauve lean: an unusual and rather sophisticated colour that sits a half-step deeper than Gumnut, the palest in the Auburn Ridge range. The mauve is subtle, but it is what...

Lilly Pilly is a mid-dark warm grey-brown: a true mushroom, and the most forgiving colour in the Auburn Ridge range short of Waratah. It has enough brown in it to feel warm and enough grey to stay neutral, which is...

Gumnut is the palest colour in the Auburn Ridge range: a warm oatmeal-cream with a soft pink-beige cast that stops it ever feeling stark. In a bright room it lifts everything around it, and because the yarn is multi-toned rather...

Banksia is a mid cool grey shot through with a brown fleck: the only grey in the Auburn Ridge range, and the colour to reach for when the rest of the room is cool. The brown in the fleck is...

Wave is a mid warm grey-taupe: grey first, but with enough warmth held in it to sit happily beside timber, wool and linen rather than looking clinical. It is the bridge colour in the Benghazi range: where Breeze is genuinely...

Terra is the palest colour in the Benghazi range: a warm oatmeal-cream with a soft golden undertone that keeps it from reading as stark white or cold grey. On a full floor it behaves a little like extra daylight: it...

Shore is a darker warm brown-taupe: one of the two deepest colours in the Benghazi range, and the one to reach for when you want weight underfoot without going all the way to the chocolate of Flow. It holds a...

Shell is a mid warm taupe-brown: the point in the Benghazi range where brown clearly takes over from grey. It is warmer and softer than Dune, with a settled, faintly earthy quality that tends to look better in the room...

Sandy is a light warm greige-beige: the shade most people picture when they ask for a warm neutral carpet. There is enough beige in it to feel soft and enough grey to stop it turning yellow against white walls, and...

Pebble here is a mid brown-taupe, and that is worth stating plainly, because Belgotex uses the same nine colour names across both of its scroll loop ranges and the colours behind those names are not the same. In the 11.0mm...

Flow is the darkest and the warmest colour in the Benghazi range: a deep chocolate brown with no grey hedging in it. Laid across a full floor it behaves like a dark timber: it anchors the room, throws the walls...

Dune is a mid warm greige-taupe: the true middle of the Benghazi palette, where beige has cooled slightly towards taupe but has not yet turned brown. It is the colour that makes a room feel grounded without going dark, and...

Breeze is the only genuinely cool colour in the Benghazi range: a mid grey-taupe with the warmth pulled out of it, so it sits quietly beside cool white walls, charcoal joinery, black tapware and stainless steel instead of pushing yellow...

Waverley is the warm sand-gold wheat of the Riverside Reserve palette, and depth flatters it more than almost any other colour in the range. At 17.0mm the longer yarn traps light between the tufts and the gold note becomes richer...

Sea Forth is the palest colour Riverside Reserve is made in, a near-white warm cream, and the 17.0mm pile gives it a softness the shorter build cannot match. At this depth the colour reads slightly deeper and creamier, because the...
