RAL Colours Explained

July 5, 2021admin

What Are RAL Colours?

RAL colours are a specialised range of colours created by the RAL colour Institute. Furthermore, they invented RAL colours to represent various coloured plastics, paints, varnishes and more. The RAL colour chart is now a standard chart used for choosing colours in the industry.

Who Invented RAL Colours?

The National Committee for Delivery and Quality Assurance invented forty colours categorised as “RAL 840” in 1927. With this new system, identifying colours by a number would prove beneficial. However, sometime in the 1930s, they decided to regiment the number system to four digits, as it is today. During the 1960s, RAL colours evolved to have supplementary names to avoid any confusion. For instance, RAL 3020 is also Traffic red as it is the closest colour to red traffic lights.

What Are The Benefits Of A RAL Colour?

In the UK, homeowners are always looking for ways to improve their homes, and with the recent incorporation of additional RAL colours in uPVC windows and doors. They can now add kerb appeal to their property with a new composite door in a unique RAL colour. The on-trend composite door and uPVC window colour is RAL 7016 AKA Anthracite grey. Furthermore, Anthracite grey is a contemporary colour that offers a superior look to any home. Try our free online door designer to see what RAL colour will suit your home.
