Match RAL standard colors to retail paint brands like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr
RAL is the European standard color matching system, originating in Germany in 1927. Unlike paint brands, RAL defines standardized color codes used globally across industries — architecture, automotive, industrial coatings, powder coating, and manufacturing. When you specify a RAL color, any manufacturer can produce an exact match.
The RAL Classic collection contains 216 colors, each identified by a 4-digit code. The system also includes RAL Design System Plus (1,825 colors) and RAL Effect (490 colors including metallics). RAL colors are the go-to standard for European architecture, windows, doors, facades, and industrial applications.
