What color is RAL Classic Fir green?

RAL Classic Fir green RAL 6009 is a deeply shaded green with a charcoal-like weight and a restrained earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the color from feeling bright, while the green remains visible in daylight and stronger natural light. In dim rooms or evening light, this shade can read almost black with a subtle green presence. It suits cabinetry, doors, built-in shelving, and exterior trim where a dark finish adds definition without using plain black. Pair Fir green with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, stone, or muted clay tones to bring out its grounded character.

Fir green is a deep, very muted deep forest green. The HEX sample has a subtle green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Fir green

Fir green has an LRV of 6.11% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 6.11%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
