The colour in detail
Look & origin
Green (RAL 6018 yellow-green or RAL 6005 moss green depending on the format) is the landscape-integration shade par excellence. Matt or satin, it blends the container into greenery and strongly softens the 'metal box' effect.
Upkeep & durability
Good UV durability, comparable to blue: 10 to 14 years before a touch-up. Dark greens hide dirt and runs well, an asset outdoors with no shelter. Touch-ups are done without any particular difficulty.
Uses & planning rules
It is often THE colour required by councils: many local plans impose an integration shade (green or dark grey) to allow a container visible from the road, in agricultural, natural or residential zones. Ideal for a garden shed, rural storage or a farm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the green high cube RAL 6018 common in used containers?+
Less frequent than standard 40' green: Evergreen produces ~30 % of its green fleet as HC (vs ~70 % standard 40'). Original stock varies by port, more common at Felixstowe and Hamburg. Lead time 2-4 weeks for a Grade A unit.
Why use a green high cube rather than blue in wine production?+
Landscape integration: RAL 6018 or 6005 valid in Conservation Areas / strict Local Plans (English wine country = often classified). RAL 5010 (blue) rejected in ~60 % of wine country Local Plans. Green is also photogenic for marketing (postcard Sussex/Kent). Additional cost ~£610 quickly amortised over 10 years of operation.
What does a green high cube RAL 6018 wine cellar turnkey cost?+
High cube + insulation 100 mm + cave air conditioning (15 °C/70 % HR) + matt finish exterior RAL 6005 + Douglas wood cladding option: 22 000-32 000 €. Storage for 5 000-6 000 bottles with vertical racking utilised (useful height 2,69 m).
Can we order a high cube container in matte camouflage military green?+
Yes from specialised applicators (Birmingham, Manchester). Matte polyurethane paint with non-reflective finish, ~+£170 on HC vs glossy. Lead time 4 weeks. High demand from British military bases since 2020 (infrastructure modernisation). Frequent procurement validation.
Why is green often required by the council?+
Many local plans make a container's approval conditional on a landscape-integration shade — typically a matt, non-reflective green or dark grey. RAL 6005/6018 green meets this requirement and smooths approval in natural or agricultural zones.
Do I need permission for a green container in my garden?+
Colour does not waive the formalities: prior notice of works from 5 to 20 m², a building permit beyond that, and a possible ban in protected zones. Green simply maximises your chances of approval.
