Custom colours and other RAL palettes
If RAL CLASSIC is not enough, start with an identifiable reference. A custom colour request does not create a new RAL code.
RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus
This is a separate RAL system with a different code structure from four-digit RAL CLASSIC. Send the entire grouped code, not just a colour name.
RAL EFFECT and effect finishes
Assess an effect finish together with gloss, lighting and viewing angle. Check the exact palette and reference specified in the project; a photograph alone is insufficient for final approval.
Matching a physical sample
Provide an undamaged sample, substrate, desired texture and quantity. Product feasibility, sample preparation, minimum quantity and timing are discussed individually. Not every colour or effect can be promised.
