Title: In search of....

I keep losing this thread.  Se here it is again.

I am in search of a darker silver material with a design.  A brocade or Jacquard would be best.  If at all possible have some natural fiber in it.  THanks

This looks a bit sage on my monitor but it's called silver. Maybe?

I'm looking for a damask or cotton velvet in a pumpkin-ey orange colour.  Something like this (http://englishhistory.net/tudor/mary1faq.jpg) colour, only in a damask or velvet.  I have a swatch of that fabric and it's a lovely colour, only it's more like a suede than a velvet.  I'm looking for a damask or a proper velvet.  I'd love to find an orange damask, as I'm doing a Tudor gown with a similar colour scheme to Mary's in this portrait:

I'm not recreating the gown in the portrait, I'm just using an orange and red colour scheme.
