Looks like the needles of a Fir or Spruce in your header.

Years ago, I was actually disappointed when I found out that the common name "Purple Spruce" ( Picea purpurea ) only referred to the colour of its cones and not its foliage. I should have realized at the time that if such a thing literally existed that people would be planting them as ornamentals all over the place just like they do with Colorado Blue Spruce ( Picea pungens ). To be fair, Picea purpurea is not an unattractive tree; unfortunately very little is published about its actual climate preferences, and not all Spruce are alpine. The colossal Picea sitchensis ( Sitka Spruce ) grows in the temperate ( or maritime ) coastal rainforest in the American Pacific Northwest. More than one species of Chinese Spruce and Fir inhabit cool moist climates which are similar.
