The color of Dalarna
The colors of Eldris are inspired by our surrounding region and our history. The black of coal is never far away if you go out in the forests around Mora. Suddenly you’ll happen upon an old charcoal pit or the remains of one. The well-known Dala red (or Falu red) color gets its pigments from the Falu copper mines. Since as far back as the 1700s, the familiar red-painted houses with white frames have spread across the country and become an international symbol for Sweden and the county of Dalarna.
As well as the Dala red color, we also have a Dala blue, which can be seen on everything from building details to clothes. It’s even in our regional coat of arms. The moss green color is inspired by the nature and unique surroundings of the area around Lake Siljan. Deep in the forests we find the calm and inspiration for this green hue. Finally, we have the golden ocher color, taken from the Dalarna paintings of the 1600's, and also the folk costumes that people in Mora have worn.
