Bottle Green

RAL 6007 Bottle Green is a very dark green named after the deep color of traditional glass wine and beer bottles. This shade carries strong associations with British and Irish pub culture, heritage shopfronts, and traditional commercial signage. Bottle Green is frequently specified for period-appropriate restoration of Victorian and Edwardian commercial facades. In modern applications, it serves as a rich, natural dark tone for residential front doors, window frames, and garden buildings.
