RAL K7 colours chart: the most famous

One of the most famous RAL colours is certainly the RAL K7 Classic Brilliant. The latest version of this colour chart contains 213 RAL colours.

This colour chart is THE reference for RAL colour charts. I find it one of the easiest to use to compare a colour with an element (wall, cylindrical elements, bodywork...).

It is also one of the cheapest colour charts on the market.

RAL K5 Colours Chart

The RAL K5 colour chart is also a reference in terms of colour chart. Just like the K7 colour chart, this one is also composed of 213 RAL colours.

However, it is equipped with a plastic cover (see image opposite) and is available in gloss or satin finish (semi gloss)..

With its weight of about 400 grams, it is heavier but also more resistant over time than the K7 colour chart.

It should be noted that this colour chart won the German Design Award in 2018 for the creation of these protective boxes.

RAL colour chart K1: the notepad

Nicknamed the Notepad because of its spiral-bound format, the Ral K1 colour chart, only available in a glossy version, is one of the colour charts with the most colours per page.

Indeed, this colour chart is composed of 14 colours of approximately 5 x 1.5 cm arranged on each page.
