Red Polyester Swatch Card
This swatch card lets you see and feel the actual Red polyester fabric in person before ordering full-size linens in this color. Light pastels like this can look brighter or paler on screen than they do in person, so a physical sample is the more reliable way to confirm the shade. The card measures approximately 4" x 4", with a polyester fabric swatch attached measuring approximately 2.375" H x 3.75" W. As with any dyed fabric, the exact shade of a future order may vary slightly from this card over time due to differences between dye lots.

Red here is a true, classic red rather than a wine-leaning tone like Cabernet, straightforward and bold without a strong undertone pulling it toward orange or purple. That directness is why it's a go-to color for holiday events, romantic occasions, and bold, high-energy celebrations.
How to Use This Swatch Card
Check the swatch under your venue's actual lighting before ordering, since pale pastels can look washed out under warm lighting or slightly different under cooler, brighter light. It's also worth comparing it directly against white or silver accents you're planning, since a light color like this needs enough contrast to stand out rather than blending in.
Once you've confirmed the color and texture, you can order CV Linens™ polyester tablecloths, runners, napkins, or chair covers in Red. As with any dyed polyester, minor shade differences between production runs are normal even after confirming with a swatch.
Coordinating With Red
Red pairs classically with gold for a rich, festive look, and with green for a traditional holiday palette. For a more modern approach, pairing it with black or white keeps the color bold while giving the overall setting a cleaner, more graphic feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this swatch card for?
This card lets you check the true color and texture of Red polyester fabric before ordering full-size linens. It's particularly useful for a deep tone like this one, since screens often struggle to render wine reds accurately.
What size is the card and swatch?
The card measures approximately 4" x 4", and the fabric swatch attached to it measures approximately 2.375" H x 3.75" W. That's a large enough piece to judge both the depth of the color and the feel of the fabric.
Will my full order match this card exactly?
It should be close, but due to the nature of dye lots, shades can vary slightly over time compared to this card. That's expected with dyed fabric and not specific to this color.
What products can I order in Red?
Red is available across CV Linens™ polyester table linens collection, including tablecloths, runners, napkins, and chair covers. Confirming the color here first gives you confidence those pieces will match.
What colors pair well with Red?
Gold, green, black, and white all pair well with Red. Gold and green lean traditional and festive, while black or white gives the color a cleaner, more modern edge.
Can I compare more colors at once?
Yes. CV Linens™ Polyester Swatch Chart includes 41 polyester colors in one booklet, useful if you're comparing Red against Cabernet or another red-adjacent tone. You can also browse CV Linens™ full swatchbook collection to compare other fabric types like satin, taffeta, or sequin, or check out the Glitz Sequin Swatch Book if you're considering something with more sparkle than polyester.
