The closest replica of the Artnovion Alpha Screen is the Mecho EcoSheer 6850 Series in Porcelain or Quartz.
Why it is the closest overall match:
100% polyester, matching Alpha Screen’s 100% PES construction
PVC-free and fiberglass-free
1% openness
Translucent rather than blackout
Soft, woven textile appearance
NRC 0.50 and SAA 0.53
Available in light neutral colors
Manufactured as a proper roller-shade fabric
Up to 118 inches wide
Color selection:
6851 Porcelain: warm white; my first choice
6852 Quartz: pale beige-gray
6854 Stone: darker warm neutral
6853 Glass: cooler and brighter
The Alpha Screen’s graph indicates an approximate NRC around 0.50–0.55, although Artnovion does not publish an NRC number on the material you supplied. Mecho EcoSheer 6850 therefore lands remarkably close both acoustically and materially.

Final specification:
Mecho EcoSheer 6850 Series, color 6851 Porcelain, 1% openness, 100% polyester, PVC-free, NRC 0.50, SAA 0.53.
If Porcelain is too white, use 6852 Quartz. Official Mecho EcoSheer specifications
For Poseidon, the best universal shade color is Mecho EcoSheer 6854 Stone. It bridges the Copper Oxide acoustic panels, walnut table, blue walls, and nearly every upholstery sample without becoming too white, yellow, or brown.

My final shade recommendation remains EcoSheer 6854 Stone. It is the safest and most coherent choice if the upholstery has not yet been selected. It will relate to the Copper Oxide panels and walnut table while remaining sufficiently neutral against any of the lighter stone, chai, cognac, or olive leather selections.
Porcelain should only be used if the upholstery choice is Bali Marble and The mrs. wants a substantially lighter room. Timber should be avoided despite matching Classic Sable because it would make the shade read as another dark wood surface.
