Dark Forest

Ciemny Las — 601 Dark Forest — is a deep, cool green, so bluish it edges toward sea tones. It is the green of dark, misty days: quiet, discreet, a little mysterious. Cool and deep, it sits first with Winter, and works as an accent for Autumn and Summer.

In projects it can stand in for black when black would feel too heavy: a smooth dark ground, a ribbon, a binding, or another linear motif.

Forest Yarn colour Dark forest 601 — Although Bark brown and Dark Forest green run cooler, the softest warmth in the beige (Lamb) nudges the whole palette toward neutral. Together with the softness of the hues and a balanced depth, it makes an excellent choice for Autumn.

Forest Yarn colour Dark forest 601 — A light base with a dark accent (e.g. a trim) — Dark Forest green is ideal, because against pale colours it makes a striking contrast without overwhelming. Cooler with Fluff, a touch warmer with Lamb. You can reverse the proportions too.
