RAL Colour Palettes
The colour palettes allow you to easily integrate all RAL colours directly into your software (e.g. Nemetschek, Corel, Photoshop and various others). So, you can work with the right colours right from the start.
Colour Pipette
Determine the values of the colours on the entire screen. The software shows RGB/Lab/HEX colour values and enables you to transfer the colour to the software programs "Farbharmonie" (Colour Harmony) and "Nächste RAL-Farben" (Matching RAL Colours).
Matching RAL Colours
This window calculates the corresponding RAL colours for hundreds of colour systems. It lists the three RAL colours that best match the original colour and gives the distance (Delta E).
Colour Values
This window shows the output-optimized key values for all RAL colours. This includes Lab, HLC, HEX, RGB (sRGB, Trinitron) and CMYK (art paper, uncoated paper and newsprint). It indicates the colour match achieved with the original colour. This also allows you to use software that does not support palettes but permits the input of colour values.
Calculated Colour Harmony- Complementary Contrast
All harmonies are calculated using the CIELAB colour model. This is the calculable colour model - the colour model that best describes human visual sensation. You can determine the harmonies in an ideal-typical manner or within the RAL colour system selected.
Here is a six-part complementary contrast for RAL 140 70 50.
Calculated Colour Harmony - Variation of Brightness
Brighter and darker variants of the original colour RAL 670-1. This is a very useful tool for façade design.
Calculated Colour Harmony- Saturation Variation
We increase the colour saturation of pigeon blue (RAL 5014).
Calculated Colour Harmony - Colour Transition
Which are the RAL CLASSIC shades between RAL 5009 azure blue and RAL 1018 zinc yellow?
Visual Colour Sensation
A playground for your creativity: Visual Colour Sensation enables you to arrange colour combinations and store them in sets. The personal evaluation is left to the user, the window does not make proposals nor does it set any rules.
Colour Designer
Colour Designer colorizes images in RAL colours - just select the image area, click on the desired colour, and it's done! Colour Designer gives you an impression of what furniture, façades or other objects would look like in RAL colours.
