The consultant brought all four catalogue books to the flat. Seeing the fabric against my own window in daylight completely changed which colour I picked — the one I chose online looked grey in my living room.

The second image drapes this shade's own photograph on a window to show the colour gathered into folds. It is a visualisation, not a photograph of a fitted job — and cloth backlit by your own glass reads differently again, which is why we bring the book to you.

How this shade behaves on a window
Drawn, this reads as a deliberate block of colour — the curtain becomes part of the room rather than disappearing into the wall. It hides marks and handling better than anything lighter, which is worth having on a curtain that gets drawn twice a day. The cool base keeps it looking clean rather than yellow, and it sits well with grey flooring and white walls.
This is a true neutral with no obvious colour cast, which is exactly why neutrals dominate every curtain book: they do not have to be matched to anything.
Where it sits in the book
Ranked by lightness it is the 1st of 22 — among the deeper shades. Closest to it are Slate Gray and Silver Gray, worth comparing side by side if you are undecided.
Rooms and layering
Best in bedrooms and media rooms, and in a formal majlis where you want the curtain to read as a considered choice rather than a neutral background.
If you are layering, a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 goes on the front track. Against a blackout this deep, a pale sheer gives the crispest result and keeps the room feeling light when the blackout is stacked away.
Looking after it
Deep colours show lint and pale dust rather than marks, so a soft brush attachment every few weeks matters more here than on a lighter shade. Dry clean rather than washing, so the depth of colour holds.
Catalogue 301 is our textured blackout: the weave has a visible grain that catches light across the folds and disguises the small creases every curtain picks up in handling. Every shade in the book is the same price, and our team brings the physical Book 301 to your home free so you can judge it against your own glass.

This is shade 301-22 itself, gathered into folds and lit — not a colour swatch. The other 21 shades of book 301 are beside it, so you can put Charcoal Gray next to the ones it is easily confused with.

Charcoal Gray blackout curtains in Dubai: what this shade is like to live with
Charcoal Gray is shade 301-22 in book 301, our textured blackout range, and this is what to know before ordering charcoal gray blackout curtains in Dubai. a visible surface texture that hides creases and suits large windows.
Dark blackout shades are the obvious choice for a bedroom that has to be properly dark, and they suit a room used for watching a screen. Dark shades show dust and lint most, so they are worth dusting more often than a mid tone. A dark curtain in direct sun absorbs more heat than a pale one, which is an argument for a sheer in front of it on a west-facing window.
What it costs, and what is included
What you pay depends on the width of the track and the fullness the heading needs, not on which colour you choose within the book. Every shade in this book is held in our own UAE warehouse, which is why we quote days rather than the weeks an imported order takes. You can price your own window with the estimator before anyone visits.
Seeing this shade in your own light
Colour is the one thing a screen gets wrong. Warm afternoon light pushes a shade like this darker and flatter, and a north-facing room pulls it the other way, so the safest way to judge it as a blackout is against your own wall. The book comes to the home on the free measuring visit, alongside the other three catalogues if you want to compare.
What it pairs with
A blackout on its own gives you sun or darkness with nothing between. Adding a chiffon sheer in front on a double track is what most bedrooms here end up with, and it protects the blackout from the daily sun.
Technically this is Charcoal Gray textured blackout fabric, cut and made up to your window rather than sold by the metre — the shade is fixed, the size is not.
