When it comes to colour design for exterior paints, the brightness of the colour used determines, among other things, how much plastered surfaces and thermal insulation are exposed to heating, natural temperature fluctuations and, as a result, possible damage. The values are of great importance to architects and other professions that deal with the design of building facades. The so-called light reflectance value (LRV) measures the brightness of a colour tone and indicates the amount of energy in the range of visible light that is reflected from a facade. The value for black corresponds to 0, that for white 100. Due to heating (day) and cooling (night), dark surfaces are exposed to higher thermal fluctuations than light surfaces.

ENVISION + CRAFT is a work tool which saves time in the areas of design, (interior) architecture and industry to develop successful products and atmospheres. Colour is often confused with simple colourfulness and leads to uncertainty in planning. The 15-part colour range gives designers the freedom to play with their contexts with the certainty that they can fall back on a proven colour selection.

With the three RAL colour palettes RAL CLASSIC, RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus and RAL EFFECT, there are a total of 2,540 predefined colours to choose from. But what actually characterises the three colour palettes? What are their similarities and differences?
In the convenient overview, the three colour palettes are compared and the associated tools are shown.

This worksheet helps to systematically position color palettes within the RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus and to better understand their relationships. By classifying hue, lightness, and chroma, it becomes clear how colors relate to one another and why certain combinations appear calm, balanced, or dynamic. This systematic approach supports making color decisions not only intuitively but also conceptually, providing a solid foundation for design and facilitating clear justification in the design and communication process with clients.
