Linseed oil paint Djurgårdsgrön

Linseed oil paint Djurgårdsgrön is a classic, dark green shade that resembles green umber but appears as a brighter green. Djurgårdsgrön is a typical 19th-century shade, named after Djurgården in Stockholm, a part of the capital that still has much of its 19th-century architecture intact. This green paint was used on facades, while windows were often painted white, broken with approximately 10 percent green umber (so-called Stockholm White). The color Djurgårdsgrön is also very common as a window color, and the opposite is just as common: Stockholm White facade and Stockholm White trim with Djurgårdsgrön window frames. NOTE!

Gysinge's linseed oil paint is manufactured in our own factory from boiled cold-pressed linseed oil and pigment, without the addition of solvents.

The paint is semi-matte and suitable for painting both indoors and outdoors on wood, sheet metal, and iron. It adheres well to both new surfaces and old previously painted surfaces, and works in both dry and humid environments. When newly painted, the paint is glossy but will mattify to semi-matte after a few weeks, depending on the weather and substrate.

Outdoors, the surface will mattify primarily in south-facing locations where UV radiation breaks down the linseed oil, which may cause the color to lighten slightly, especially on dark shades.

Repainting is only needed after 8–15 years, depending on exposure. Linseed oil paint works equally well on new and old surfaces, and the patina that develops gives a natural and beautiful character.
