The RAL Colour Chart is a number system that standardizes the colors of coatings and paints to industry specifications. This color matching system is mainly used in Europe and was established in the mid-1920s in Germany. The RAL Color Chart established a common color language that helped eliminate misunderstandings when matching colors.

The acronym RAL stands for “Reichs-Ausschuss für Lieferbedingungen” and translates to "Reichs-committee for delivery conditions".

The RAL Color Chart system has grown over the years. It continues to serve and define colors used in architecture, manufacturing, construction, road safety and signs, and the commercial industry. RAL is mainly used for varnish, powder coatings, and industrial finishes, such as those used on steel shipping containers. Originally consisting of 40 colors, the RAL Color Chart offers over 2000 color choices.
