L*ab, RGB and HLC values from the RAL Classic colour range

Please select colour range and reference.

If you wish to find the nearest standard colour to given L*a*b* values - click here

The L* a* b* (together with the corresponding HLC, RGB and CYMK) values are based on various sources/measurements standardised, where possible, on D65 light with a standard observer according to CIE 1964. They are not necessarily the L* a* b* figures intended by any standard or organisation and should therefore only be used as a guide.

The information and colours depicted are also for guidance only. The displayed colour will depend on your monitor, browser, and angle of the screen and pearl or metallic colours cannot be shown adequately. The finished colour, therefore, may not be as shown here.

The sRGB conversion system used is IEC 61966:2-1 D50 adapted which may differ from other conversions.

We always recommend a visual check before any major purchase.
