How RAL 6010 reads
Grass green is a lively mid green with yellow warmth, lighter than RAL 6001 emerald green and less blue. It looks fresh and outdoorsy, close to a well kept lawn in spring.
Where it turns up
It suits garden furniture, play equipment, signs and machinery. Bright greens fade in strong sun, so choose an exterior grade topcoat and expect to need two coats over a light primer.
Ordering RAL 6010 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 6010" and add the gloss level, the product type (wall paint, metal paint, powder, aerosol) and the surface. The same number mixed by two makers, or in two gloss levels, can look slightly different, so keep a whole job in one batch and look at a sample in daylight first. The paint counter guide covers the questions to ask.
