Can anyone help. All the ral colours I can find online seem to be flat colours rather then metallic.
Or if someone can point me in the direction somewhere online I can view them.
Thanks

RAL Effect - 490 colors, all are water based
This color system was launched by RAL 5 years ago. This system has 420 solid colors plus 70 corresponding metallic colors. RAL has launched this as the EU recommendation for paint to be lead free is coming in effect . All 490 colors can be matched with a small number of pigments so this makes it also easier for the paint industry as they do not have to purchase so many different pigments.
Example of a RAL Effect color is 3+1 numbers (or M for metallic) ie 180-1 or 180-M.
Cheers.
