RAL K7 Color Chart – 216 Colors, Low-Odor Water-Based, Portable, in Five Languages

Discover the RAL K7 Color Chart

The RAL K7 Color Chart brings a broad, tactile color reference to designers, painters, and on-site professionals. This edition gathers 216 timeless hues from the RAL CLASSIC palette, arranged so you can compare five colors at a glance. Its compact fan design measures 15.0 x 5.0 x 2.0 cm, with each swatch display at 2.0 x 5.0 cm, delivering a tangible sense of shade, brightness, and depth beyond what a screen can show.

Designed for comfort and practicality, the chart uses low-solvent, low-odour water-based paints. This helps keep the workspace pleasant during color sampling and client walkthroughs, while the pigments are selected to hold their appearance under varied lighting conditions. The result is a reliable, portable reference you can trust during fast decisions on the go.

The cover is made from 100% recyclable post-industrial polypropylene waste, underscoring a commitment to responsible materials use. This durable, lightweight case protects the swatches while minimizing environmental impact. The overall build supports frequent transport between studio, showroom, and job site, without sacrificing ease of use.
