RAL Classic → Coat conversion chart

This chart lists all 213 RAL Classic colours with their nearest Coat equivalent, ranked by colour distance (ΔE, CIEDE2000 — lower is closer). 54 of 213 have an equivalent within ΔE 5, which is close enough that the difference is hard to spot once paint’s on the wall. Where the nearest Coat colour is ΔE 8 or more there is no close equivalent — the nearest is still shown for reference, clearly labelled. Standard-system hex values are widely-cited sRGB approximations; physical reference chips remain authoritative for colour-critical work.
