We used the production of the first high gloss water based colour fan – the RAL K7 – as an opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of RAL colour fan production.

For example, did you know that the colours on the RAL colour fans are not printed, but applied using a lacquering process? And would you have thought that so many work steps are carried out by hand?

Like with all RAL products, precision and quality are the top priorities in the production of the water based RAL K7 colour fan. Watch the video to gain an insight into how this is ensured.

A world without colour is a different world. But the eye is often unable to distinguish between the many shades of colour. Is this blue water blue or turquoise blue? And where can you buy it?

The RAL COLOUR READER makes it easy to determine the exact shade of a colour. The handy device is held against the surface and the corresponding RAL colour appears in the corresponding app at the touch of a button. This means that colours can be determined on the spot and sent to the manufacturer in seconds.

The RAL COLOUR READER is a handy and precise colour measuring device. It is optimally integrated into the RAL colour system and thus enables an accurate and time-saving handling of colours.

The colour trend report RAL COLOUR FEELING 2025+ is entitled CARE + COLLABORATE. The focus is on the circular economy and regenerative design. For holistic design in practice, it is supplemented by the RAL Trendbox 2025+ as a collection of materials.

In the live presentation on 28 September 2023, the 15-part trend colour palette was presented.

What impact do colorus have on humans? And what role do colour trends play in this?

We' talked to Prof. Timo Rieke from the Faculty of Design at the HAWK Fakultät Gestaltung (University of Applied Sciences and Arts) Hildesheim, who is also part of the Institute International Trendscounting (IIT) at the HAWK, about the effect of colours on the human organism. We also asked how colour trends develop during and after the Corona crisis of 2020 and what impact these developments have on the future.

How does a new RAL CLASSIC colour come into being?

Using the example of RAL 9012 - Cleanroom White we talked to one of the developers of this colour how the colour was created.

RAL CLASSIC is a historically grown collection, which has emerged mainly from the demands of the industry. Cleanroom White has also emerged from the demands of the industry. As the new standard shade for the clean room industry, RAL 9012 meets the perfect conditions for use in clean rooms.

In the video, Mrs. Cordula Bahm explains the development of the new RAL shade and what makes it so special.

The 150-piece Starter Kit introduces the world of the RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus and is the perfect design tool for getting started with colour design. The specifically compiled selection of 10 colour levels and a gray series is supplemented by frequently used wood tone values and a selection of RAL Classic tones. The kit offers a coordinated selection of important colours for professional room and product design. It can easily be supplemented with additional colour sheets from the RAL colour palettes.

Two students from the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts describe their experiences in using the RAL Starter Kit in everyday life.

The RAL STARTER KIT is the perfect design tool for the start into colour design.

Due to a presorted selection from all colour ranges of the RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus and RAL CLASSIC, the STARTER KIT forms a perfect tool for students, architects and designers.

Prof. Dipl.-Des. Timo Rieke from the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts explains how the colour tool works, what possibilities it offers and how it was developed.
