Overview
Below is a list of RAL Classic colours[1] from the RAL colour standard. Alongside every colour, the corresponding values are given for:
- hexadecimal triplet for the sRGB colour space, approximating the given RAL colour
- sRGB value
- Grey value calculated from (0.2126 × red) + (0.7152 × green) + (0.0722 × blue)[10]
- CIE L*a*b* values
- sRGB value expressed as hue, saturation and lightness (HSL)
- device-independent CMYK value: cyan, magenta, yellow, black or key
- LRV, but a consistent light reflectance value is not obtainable from pearlescent or metallic colours
The visual samples displayed on the screen are not binding because brightness and contrast may vary from screen to screen – and neither are the colours on a printout from a printer. For binding colour samples, always obtain an official RAL Colour fan deck.
