Does RAL Classic publish official Craig & Rose equivalents?

No. These are computed nearest matches — every RAL Classic colour compared against every Craig & Rose colour using the CIEDE2000 colour-difference formula, then ranked by distance. They are not official conversions, and where no close equivalent exists the chart says so.

How many RAL Classic colours have a close Craig & Rose equivalent?

44 of the 213 RAL Classic colours in this chart have a Craig & Rose equivalent within ΔE 5 — close enough that most people would struggle to tell them apart on a wall.

RAL Classic → Craig & Rose conversion chart

This chart lists all 213 RAL Classic colours with their nearest Craig & Rose equivalent, ranked by colour distance (ΔE, CIEDE2000 — lower is closer). 44 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 Craig & Rose 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.
