They talked me out of the fabric I originally wanted because it would not hold the pleat at that drop. They were right. That kind of advice is why I have already recommended them twice.

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
A mid tone is the most forgiving choice in a blackout. It shows neither dust nor creasing the way pale and very dark fabrics do, and it sits comfortably against most wall colours without having to be matched to them. The cool base keeps it looking clean rather than yellow, and it sits well with grey flooring and white walls.
The cast is barely-there. The undertone is genuinely blue, which keeps the shade looking crisp and clean rather than dusty. Blues can feel cold in a north-facing room and excellent in one that gets hard afternoon sun.
Where it sits in the book
Ranked by lightness it is the 6th of 20 — among the deeper shades. Closest to it are Dark Gray B and Gray A, worth comparing side by side if you are undecided.
Rooms and layering
The safe all-rounder: bedrooms, living rooms, majlis. If you are covering several rooms and want one fabric throughout, this is the sort of tone to pick.
If you are layering, a chiffon sheer from catalogue 401 goes on the front track. With a blackout in this range almost any sheer works, so choose the sheer on how bright you want the room to feel by day.
Looking after it
Mid tones are the easiest to live with — they show neither dust nor finger marks readily. Vacuum with a brush head every few weeks and it will look the same in year five as in year one.
Catalogue 303 is jacquard: the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed onto it, so it holds its colour and cannot crack or peel with cleaning. It is the dressier of the three blackout books. Every shade in the book is the same price, and our team brings the physical Book 303 to your home free so you can judge it against your own glass.

This is shade 303-12 itself, gathered into folds and lit — not a colour swatch. The other 19 shades of book 303 are beside it, so you can put Gray B next to the ones it is easily confused with.

Gray B blackout curtains in Dubai: what this shade is like to live with
Buying gray b blackout curtains in the UAE usually starts with the colour and ends with the fit. Gray B (303-12) sits in our jacquard blackout book. a pattern woven in rather than printed on, so it holds colour and depth.
This is the range most bedrooms end up in: dark enough to feel restful, light enough that the room does not close in during the day. Mid tones are the most forgiving shades to live with — they show neither dust nor marks readily.
What it costs, and what is included
Made-to-measure curtains in this shade are quoted per window rather than per panel, and the figure covers the fabric, the tailoring, the track and the fitting. 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 towards yellow, 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 Gray B jacquard blackout fabric, cut and made up to your window rather than sold by the metre — the shade is fixed, the size is not.
