Frequently Asked Questions
How does Concord differ from Plum?
Plum carries a red-brown warmth — the skin of the fruit — while Concord is a purer, more vivid purple with grape-juice saturation. On heritage and sophisticated warm purples Plum blends better; on bold jewel-tone and batik purples, Concord matches the intensity.
Is Concord or Eggplant the darker purple?
Eggplant — it verges on black-purple, while Concord stays clearly, vividly purple even in low light. If the fabric reads nearly black with purple undertones, choose Eggplant; if it reads as saturated deep purple, Concord is the correct match.
What palette builds a jewel-tone quilt around Concord?
Peacock for the vivid teal, a garnet red, and a sapphire blue complete the classic jewel set. All at Glide's uniform 40wt, jewel quilts with frequent colour changes run without tension adjustments.
