RAL color system

[zoran]

Anyone with experience with RAL?
I am running into many walls as soon as I mention RAL with our vendors.
Basically everybody refers me to free online charts and conversion software but all that free conversion and files are doing it with RAL K7 classic system.

I ordered kit from RAL and got full design RAL system that has 1625 swatches and they are numbered in LCH so you can do conversions.
We have a client that is doing branding project and they want to find equivalents in RAL system in between many other requests.

Thanks

Hi Zoran

I came across this software by accident some years back. Never actually used it but they seem to have some RAL support.
Don't shoot me in the foot if it's not the right thing, like I say I never actually used it

Thanks Paul, I will not shoot you by any means
It looks like this is very useful tool for sure, albeit they mention RAL numbers 5014 Pigeon blue and RAL 7035.
These numbers are from Classic K7 RAL palette, design RAL uses naming like RAL 111 22 33, where 111 is Hue, 22 is lightness and 33 is chroma.
Good find anyway, thanks.
