RAL Color Standard

The RAL Color Standard is a widely recognized system for defining and communicating specific colors, primarily used in Europe for architecture, design, and manufacturing. It assigns unique four-digit codes to colors, ensuring consistency across different products and projects. Originally developed in Germany in 1927, RAL colors help manufacturers and designers specify exact shades for paints, coatings, and plastics, making it easier to achieve uniform color matching and quality control, whether in construction, signage, or industrial design.
