The RAL Color System

The RAL color system is used in Europe and many other countries. They have books of color samples and each color has a specific number. Their web site at www.ral-farben.de is in German but this is where I ordered my color chip selector (which was expensive) so I could find the closest match to what I was using.

There are two RAL color systems shown. The second one is much more accurate. When you get your paint mixed, write down the numbers for both systems. There is no telling which system they use, or if they use RAL systems at all.

RAL Classic This system is more common to find but there are fewer colors in it. These colors do not match mine as accurately.

RAL Design System This has a lot more colors in it and I could match these more accurately. However, this system is not used as much.

I have listed the RAL numbers for the paint colors I use, so that those who live outside the U.S. may be able to get the same colors of paint mixed more easily (if their paint store uses that color system).
