RAL Classic
For a hundred years, RAL colours with their four-digit numbers have been a worldwide standard for colour in architecture, design, industry and trade. The RAL Classic collection began with 40 colours and has grown over the decades to its present 216 shades, and is continually adapted to the changing requirements of public bodies and the private sector.
The RAL 840-HR colour register is the basis for reproducing matt colours, and the RAL 841-GL register for gloss colours. The registers serve as master standards for the design and formulation of colours by industry, but they also contain safety and signal colours and meet the colour specifications of the DIN standards.
Designers across a wide range of disciplines in more than 150 countries now rely on the breadth of the collection. See our overview of all RAL colours.
✓ Master standards: RAL 840-HR (satin gloss) and RAL 841-GL (high gloss)
✓ Includes the safety and signal colours (DIN)
✓ Individual colour samples available from stock, per colour
