Vert d’Aube No. 62 Lacquer

Vert d’Aube No. 62 is the green of early morning: light, clear, with a touch of grey that takes off any hard edge. As re-box protect, this shade gets a silky-gloss finish that takes in light softly instead of throwing it back hard. This paint is made for furniture, wood and interior surfaces you touch every day.

Vert d’Aube No. 62 in silk gloss

The shade sits between fresh leaf green and a quiet sage. Light enough not to weigh down a small piece of furniture, yet with enough pigment to read clearly as colour across a whole door. In daylight it looks fresh and almost cool. In the evening, under warm artificial light, it slips a touch softer and shows its olive-green core. You’ll find how it compares to its neighbours under Lackfarben Grün.

Where this green works well

re-box protect is a furniture and multi-purpose paint for indoor use. It stands up to mechanical stress, everyday dirt and outside influences — exactly what surfaces face in daily life at home.

• Chests of drawers, cabinets, shelves and sideboards
• Interior doors and frames, even while still hung: you’ll find the right order of steps in Tür lackieren ohne Ausbauen
• Staircase strings, railings and handrails, step by step in Treppe streichen: Anleitung für die Holztreppe
• Skirting boards, wall panels and interior windowsills

What this green pairs with

Green on green works as long as the shades differ in depth. These four paints sit close enough to form a set, and far enough apart to tell them apart:

• Everdell No. 5 Lack as a darker counterpart, say on the frame
• Olive Drift No. 7 Lack if you want something earthier
• Hearthstone Moss No. 8 Lack for calm, muted surfaces
• Matcha Bloom No. 9 Lack as a fresher, lighter option

Want the wall behind the furniture in the same shade? Vert d’Aube No. 62 is also available as a wall paint. Two different materials, the same colour — matte wall, silky-gloss furniture, one green.

Check the surface first, then build up

The surface must be clean, dry, stable and free of any loose material. Skip this, and you’ll pay for it later with poor adhesion.

• Sand down glossy old paint until matte, so the surface has something to grip
• Remove all sanding dust completely, then wipe free of grease
• Apply re-box core as a bonding primer: it adheres well to a wide range of surfaces and is the first step before every protect coat
• Then apply the paint in two thin coats rather than one thick one

Will one tin cover your project?

The paint comes in 750 ml. How far it takes you depends on the size of the surface, how absorbent it is, and how dark it was before. Always plan for two thin coats.

• Shelf or small chest of drawers: one tin is usually enough
• Interior door, both sides plus edges: it’ll be tight, count on a second tin
• Dark surface underneath: plan for more, as a third coat may be needed

Frequently asked questions about Vert d’Aube No. 62

Is this shade also available as a wall paint?
Yes, the same shade is available both as a wall paint and as a paint for wood and furniture. The wall paint is a different material from re-box protect, but the shade is identical.

Do I need to prime before painting?
Yes, plan re-box core as the first step. This bonding primer adheres well to a wide range of surfaces and comes before every protect coat.

Can I see the shade beforehand?
Yes, through the colour sample box with all 65 shades. It shows you the tone in your own light, and with a green like this, that look is well worth it.

How long does delivery take?
3 to 5 working days from receipt of payment. Every colour is mixed only after you order, which is why mixed colours are excluded from the right of withdrawal.
