RAL 100 30 15

Dark Verdigris

RAL 100 30 15 Dark Verdigris occupies hue 100, lightness 30, and a restrained chroma of 15, a subdued dark blue-green that recalls aged copper patina and weathered coastal stone. It is ideal for museum cabinetry interiors, archival room wall finishes, and traditional joinery details. The moderate chroma at this dark level gives it a rich mineral character that feels timeless and quietly sophisticated.
