RM colour, Verde Folgia.

Hello to all,

I ask a question which is a step sideways from my usual interests. I am seeking clarification on the Regia Marina colour Verde Folgia, (lettuce green) which I believe was used on RM Pola class cruisers. Can anyone identify this colour and cross reference it to a model paint equivalent or an FS number, or similar?

Yours in anticipation,

Aeroal.

Hi Aeroal,
The FS number for Verde Folgia is: FS34097.
I am also adding this web site that has the different colour chips for the RM, RA, etc.

Hope this helps,
Vincent.

The name of the colour is not Verde folgia, but Verde Foglia
(meaning litterally Leaf Green0
Hope to have been of assistance.

Guglielminauk,
You are absolutely right!
I should have picked that up, since I read and speak Italian.

It helps that despite my username I am in fact Italian.

Hi Guys,

Apologies for my mis-spelling the word. Being Scottish, I plead the excuse of ignorance!

Kind regards,
