Ral Coloring System

The RAL system is the International Painting System where you use the world of all industries. In 1927 the German Quality Assurance and Delivery Committee created a collection of 40 colors, named RAL 84. Later, in 1930, all RALs changed to a single four-digit system named RAL 840 R. The system was revised to RAL 840-HR in the 1960s. The RAL 840-HR system contains 210 matt dyed colors and is still the standard of color to date. With the use of the RAL 840-HR system, in 1980 RAL Classic – RAL 841-GL was created, which contains 193 colors for glossy surfaces.

The color codes are divided into groups based on the first digit of the number.

Thus, it follows:

• 1 = Shades of yellow
• 2 = Shades of orange
• 3 = Shades of red
• 4 = Shades of Violet
• 5 = Shades of blue
• 6 = Shades of green
• 7 = Shades of gray
• 8 = Shades of brown
• 9 = Shades of white – black
