RAL 090 40 10
Muted Fern Grey
RAL 090 40 10 Muted Fern Grey occupies hue 090, lightness 40, and a minimal chroma of 10, a subdued near-neutral mid-dark tone that bridges cool green and neutral grey. It is a natural choice for contemporary office space surfaces, utility building finishes, and heritage garden structural elements. The very restrained saturation gives it a rugged, architectural quality that blends seamlessly with concrete, natural stone, and weathered timber.
