RAL 6009

Fir Green

RAL 6009 Fir Green is a deep, cool evergreen that captures the dark, blue-tinted green of mature fir and spruce needles. This shade is deeply rooted in Alpine and Nordic architectural traditions, where dark green buildings harmonize with surrounding coniferous forests. Fir Green is specified for mountain lodges, forest visitor centers, and Scandinavian-inspired exterior design. It provides a dignified, natural appearance that ages gracefully and maintains its character through seasonal changes.
