The coating powder color following the RAL mainly.

The RAL Color System originated in Germany in the early 1920s when the Reichs-Ausschuss für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung (RAL), which translates to the National Commission for Delivery Terms and Quality Assurance, was established. Its primary goal was to standardize color references and facilitate color communication across various industries.

The RAL Color System was officially introduced in 1927 and gained widespread acceptance due to its reliability and consistency. In addition to color specification, the RAL Color System is nowadays also heavily used for effective color matching and identification. Professionals can use RAL color swatches or digital color tools to compare and select the closest RAL color match for a given sample or customer request.

The RAL Color System is based on a standardized set of color samples, each identified by a unique RAL code. These codes consist of four digits in combination with the letters ‘RAL’ (e.g. RAL 9011). The first digit is a system code number (1: yellow, 2: orange, 3: red, 4: violet, 5: blue, 6: green, 7: grey, 8: brown and 9: white and black shades). The remaining 3 digits are chosen sequentially. The name of a color shade (e.g. ‘Graphite Black’ for RAL 9011) is a description of a specific color, designed to help avoid any potential confusion in the creative process.

At JWCOATING we also rely on RAL-specifications and therefore offer a wide variety of related finishes and many more materials referencing the RAL-System for coating powder.
