RAL

Colour standards for coatings, Interior and industrial design

RAL is a globally recognised colour standard system with colour charts for architecture, interior design, and industrial design. The RAL Colour System provides 2,540 colours to choose from in three colour collections - Classic, Design and Effect. Devised to meet the needs of professional designers and specifiers as well as manufacturers, a variety of formats are available.  Most RAL products are made from coated or printed paper, however, some colours are also available as plastic plaques. The fan formats provide inspiration on colour harmonies and contrasts, whereas the larger formats have colours arranged in colour space to aid colour definition. Match paints, varnishes, powders, coatings and Masterbatch pigments to RAL colours to fulfil the colour specification of your project. The Color Reader device quickly identifies the closest RAL colour to your clients samples. RAL Books educate in colour psychology and colour trends, and support interior designers and architects with planning manuals.  Specific industry books provide architects and interior designers with essential information about design for the health & social care, hotel and hospitality industries.
