RAL Colour Standard for Plastics
The RAL P1 + P2 Plastic Colour Sample Set offers a complete and reliable solution for plastic colour specification. Featuring 300 carefully selected colours from both the RAL CLASSIC and RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus collections, this set provides designers, manufacturers, and developers with a trusted standard for colour matching in plastics. Each sample is produced in A6 format from durable polypropylene and housed in three protective cases. Organised by colour family, the set allows for intuitive browsing and comparison. Every sample presents a variety of surface textures glossy, matte, rough, opaque, and transparent revealing subtle shifts in colour under different lighting and material conditions.
This versatility makes the RAL P1 + P2 set an essential tool for anyone involved in plastic product development, industrial design, or material testing where colour accuracy and consistency are key.
The RAL P1 + P2 set delivers a complete selection of 300 plastic colour samples for precise colour design. The P1 case includes the 100 most popular RAL CLASSIC colours, while the two P2 cases feature 160 opaque and 40 transparent shades from the RAL DESIGN SYSTEM plus range.
Each A6-format sample is made from uniformly coloured polypropylene and displays how light, material, and surface texture influence the final colour appearance. Whether matte, glossy, rough, or transparent, these samples offer a tangible, reliable reference—making them the perfect complement to painted colour fans when working with coloured plastics in design, development, and production.
RAL plastic colour samples are produced using polypropylene, chosen for its balanced mechanical properties, versatility, and excellent cost-effectiveness. Widely used across various industries, polypropylene supports a broad spectrum of processing techniques and delivers consistently accurate colour results across different pigments.
Its durability and compatibility with standard production methods make it the ideal base material for presenting colour standards in plastic form ensuring that what you see in the sample can realistically be translated into manufactured products.
