RAL to HEX Converter

How RAL to HEX conversion works

The RAL Classic system is a European color-matching standard (managed by RAL gGmbH, Germany) widely used for paints, coatings, plastics, and architectural finishes. Each of its 213+ colors has a unique 4-digit code — like RAL 5010 (Gentian blue) or RAL 3020 (Traffic red) — grouped into families by leading digit (1xxx yellows, 2xxx oranges, 3xxx reds, 4xxx violets, 5xxx blues, 6xxx greens, 7xxx greys, 8xxx browns, 9xxx whites/blacks).

RAL defines its colors physically (as printed/painted swatches under standardized lighting), not as digital HEX or RGB values, so any RAL-to-HEX table is necessarily a close sRGB approximation rather than an exact conversion — useful for web mockups, UI design, and quick visual reference, but always confirm against a physical RAL swatch book before specifying paint or print production. This tool looks up each code against a bundled reference table and derives RGB and CMYK from the matched HEX value entirely in your browser.
