RAL 080 30 20

Dark Ivy

RAL 080 30 20 Dark Ivy occupies hue 080, lightness 30, and a moderate chroma of 20, a subdued dark green that recalls ivy-covered stone walls and aged garden hedgerows. It is ideal for museum display case linings, archival storage room finishes, and traditional interior millwork. The moderate chroma at this dark level gives it a rich botanical character that feels established and contemplative.
