RAL Colour Feeling 2026+ — KNOW + IMPROVE

The RAL COLOUR FEELING 2026+ trend report appeared under the title KNOW + IMPROVE. It presented fifteen shades that RAL expected to be relevant across a wide range of applications, from architecture to product design.

The report came with the RAL Trendbox 2026+, which translates the trend colours onto different materials. Where the report names and substantiates the colours, the box shows how those same colours behave on varying substrates — and in practice that difference is often larger than expected.

As in earlier years, both the report and the Trendbox were produced in collaboration with international partners from design, industry and research.

This edition has been succeeded by the RAL COLOUR FEELING 2027+ trend report, which is now available.
