The RAL DESIGN System

The RAL DESIGN System has been developed for professional color design. It contains 1688 colors arranged in a systematical order. All these 7-digit color shades are defined as individual RAL Colors. The difference between this and the RAL CLASSIC color collection is that the color codes of the RAL DESIGN System are not arranged arbitrarily. They indicate the technologically measured values of Hue, Lightness and Chroma. 

 

The CLASSIC RAL Color Collection

The 4-digit RAL Colors have been the standard for choosing colors for more than 70 years now.
At the beginning the color collection included 40 different colors. Its number has risen to more than 200 today. The basic collection for matt color shades is called RAL 840-HR, the one for glossy color shades RAL 841-GL. Both basic collections contain color samples that are being used by important institutions to cover a wide range of applications and are constantly adapted to the requirements of the industry. The registers are being used as color samples for designs. They also contain safety- and signaling colors and fulfill the color requirements of DIN regulations

 

RAL Digital
Since the use of designer and CAD software is very widespread among architects and designers, it was necessary to also offer RAL Colors for this application. Therefore any originator is able to put color into his design, on screen or paper, with color samples that are independent from paint producers. In order to import all chosen colors into CAD and designer programs, the software "RAL Digital" has been developed.
