Dark grey-green, deep and quiet, Rosebery is the colour that makes the most of a 17.0mm pile. At this depth a dark yarn reads almost like velvet, with the tips catching light and the base disappearing into shadow, so it...

Pale, cool and blue-leaning, Oatley is the most neutral grey in Riverside Reserve, and in this deeper build it loses the slightly hard edge it can have in a shorter pile. The 17.0mm yarn gives it a soft, powdery quality...

Warm sage with an olive-grey base, Mosman is the colour in Riverside Reserve for people who have had enough of grey but do not want brown. The deep pile changes how it behaves: at 17.0mm the shadow between the tufts...

Mona Vale is the darkest colour Riverside Reserve is made in: a very deep charcoal with a green cast that keeps it from reading as a hard, dead black. Laid at 17.0mm it becomes something quite dramatic: the long pile...

In Riverside Reserve, Double Bay is a mid cool grey, cleaner and less green than the Parkview Gardens colour of the same name, and the deep pile gives it a soft, slightly smoky quality rather than a hard architectural one....

Castle Cove here is a pale cool grey-green with a fleck through the yarn, softer and less definite than the same name in the shorter Parkview Gardens build, because a 17.0mm pile diffuses light and takes some of the crispness...

Rich golden-caramel brown, Bronte is the warmest and most saturated colour Riverside Reserve is made in, and the deep pile is what makes it work. At 17.0mm the yarn catches light at the tips and holds shadow at the base,...

Auburn in Riverside Reserve is a pale warm greige-cream: the shade that lives between a cream and a soft grey, and the one most people land on when Sea Forth feels a touch too white and Waverley too golden. The...

Of the pale colours in Parkview Gardens, Waverley is the most golden: a warm sand-gold wheat that carries a genuine yellow note rather than the barely-there warmth of Auburn. In a bedroom with afternoon sun it glows, and it is...

Sea Forth is the lightest colour Belgotex make in Parkview Gardens: a near-white cream that reads warm rather than cold, so it lifts a room without the clinical edge a true white carpet brings. It is at its best in...

Rosebery is a dark grey-green: a deep sage-charcoal that stops just short of black and keeps a clear botanical undertone. It is the colour for rooms you want to feel enclosed and quiet: a media room, a study, a basement...

Oatley is the most straightforwardly grey colour at the pale end of Parkview Gardens: a light-mid blue-grey with none of the green lean of Castle Cove and none of the warmth of Auburn. That neutrality is the point. It is...

Mosman is a mid warm sage: an olive-grey that keeps just enough green to feel like a colour and just enough grey to stay liveable across a whole floor. It is the middle ground people usually want when they say...

The darkest colour in Parkview Gardens, Mona Vale is a very deep charcoal carrying a blue-green cast that keeps it from turning into a dead, flat black. In daylight you see the cool undertone; under lamps it simply reads as...

Sitting squarely in the middle of the Parkview Gardens palette, Double Bay is a mid cool grey-green, deep enough to anchor a room, muted enough that it still behaves like a neutral. It is the colour most often chosen for...

A light cool grey with a clear green cast running through it, Castle Cove is the colour to reach for when a scheme is built on cool whites, black tapware and grey-toned oak. It sits with those without sliding mauve...

Bronte is the brown in Parkview Gardens: a mid warm golden-brown caramel with enough gold in it to stay lively rather than reading as flat chocolate. It is a deliberately warm, traditional choice: it suits federation and Californian bungalow interiors,...

Auburn is the second-palest colour in Parkview Gardens, a warm greige-cream that sits in the narrow gap between a cream and a soft grey. A fleck is worked through the yarn, so rather than one flat tone you get a...

Wave is the darkest colour in the Alexandria range: a mid-dark cool charcoal-grey with no warmth in it at all. It is a decisive choice rather than a safe one. In a media room or a home theatre it is...

Terra is the palest colour in the Alexandria range: a warm cream-oatmeal that reads close to off-white in a bright, north-facing room and warms into a soft biscuit tone under evening light. There is no grey in it, and no...

Shore is a warm mushroom-taupe sitting squarely in the middle of the Alexandria tonal range. Where Shell is a beige taupe, Shore leans further toward mushroom: a softer, slightly dustier brown-grey that behaves as a neutral but never reads cold....

Shell is a warm mid taupe-beige, and it is clearly deeper than Sandy: a full step down in tone rather than a subtle shift. That depth is the reason to choose it. A mid taupe forgives the daily traffic of...

Sandy is a light warm sand-beige, noticeably warmer and pinker than Terra, which is the palest colour in the Alexandria range, without stepping up into the depth of Shell. Put the two swatches side by side and Terra looks like...

Pebble is a soft sage grey-green, and it is the only colour in the Alexandria range with a genuine green cast. That makes it the interesting one. It is muted enough to behave like a neutral in a bedroom, but...
