How RAL 6025 reads
Fern green is a warm mid olive green, more yellow than RAL 6010 grass green and less grey than RAL 6011 reseda green. It looks natural and leafy, like bracken in early summer.
Where it turns up
It suits garden furniture, sheds, fences and front doors. Satin finishes keep it natural, and a sample beside planting shows whether it blends or stands out.
Ordering RAL 6025 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 6025" 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.
