RAL Colors

RAL Farben The Worldwide Language of Colors.

Cognitive scientists find that people can more easily communicate warmer colors than cool ones. The human eye can perceive millions of different colors, but the number of categories human languages use to group those colors is much smaller. Some languages use as few as three color categories (words corresponding to black, white, and red), while the languages of industrialized cultures use up to 10 or 12 categories.

Colours determine our lives – consciously and unconsciously. They give us orientation, influence our emotions, serve as a means of communication, underline individuality and give us identity. For decades, RAL colours have been present in all areas of life and set colour standards for globally unambiguous colour communication in architecture, design, trade and industry. Immerse yourself in the three RAL colour palettes with over 2,500 clearly defined colours for professional colour design.
