I want to know more about this particular color, its a beautiful green with bluish tinge and I want to know if I can procure this particular shade. I googled this term but then all the pages that opened are either German or Danish or other language which I cannot read and translating them does not help much.
Do any of you know more about this? If so, I would be very much happy to hear about it and also where and how I can order this, and for how much?

I think that 'Chromoxid feurig' is the German name for Chrome Oxide Green. 'Feurig' means 'fiery', 'vigorous' or 'spirited' (or something like that). I found a reference in one forum: "... ein Grün, das ganz giftig und "künstlich" aussieht? Das könnte Chromoxid feurig sein oder Phtalogrün." which I think means: "A green which is very 'toxic' looking and 'artificial'? That could be either a fired chromium oxide or phthalo green.'
Chromium oxide is available as a pigment and is sometimes now called Chrome Green (it used to be known as Viridian). It is quite toxic and I think that what I quoted above means that it can be substituted with Phthalo Green (which is less toxic).
I hope that will help you identify the colour you need!
