Grey Olive

RAL 6006 Grey Olive is a dark, neutral olive that sits at the intersection of green, grey, and brown. This highly subdued shade is virtually indistinguishable from dark grey in low light, revealing its olive character only under bright, direct illumination. Grey Olive is specified for military applications, industrial equipment housings, and contemporary architectural projects where an organic dark neutral is preferred over pure black or grey. It conceals dirt and wear exceptionally well in demanding environments.
