What should you know?
The RAL code defines the colour—not the surface finish.
Matte, gloss, textured and rough appearances are properties of the powder coating formulation and application. The same RAL reference can look noticeably different across these finishes.
Important notes before selecting
- 01
Colours shown on phones and monitors are approximate. Screen calibration, brightness and ambient light change perception.
- 02
The preview illustrates surface character; it does not reproduce the exact grain, gloss level or tactile feel of a specific powder coating.
- 03
Not every RAL reference is available in every finish, resin system or performance class. Availability must be confirmed for the project.
- 04
Film thickness, grounding, gun settings, substrate condition and curing can change the final appearance.
- 05
Final colour and finish approval should always be made on a physical coated sample under the intended lighting.
