RAL 6020

Chromium Green

RAL 6020 Chromium Green is a dark, muted green named after the chromium oxide pigment that has been a foundation of green paint chemistry since the 19th century. This dignified shade is specified for traditional estate architecture, conservation area buildings, and classic vehicle restoration where historical color accuracy is important. Chromium Green offers excellent lightfastness and chemical resistance, making it one of the most durable greens available for long-term exterior applications.
