Would someone have a RAL color palette they are willing to share?

John, I am not sure what an RAL color palette is?

Oh okay - it is a company. What I did do get the Sherman Williams colors was to request an RGB file from the company, and then it is relatively easy to edit them into an DataCAD RGB file.

Its a German colour standard used throughout Europe mostly for paint coatings.

The RAL color non-profit that administers the standard sells colour swatches.

Some independant swatch makers such as www.ralcolorchart.com have near match RGB and HEX, CYMK numbers attached.
But most are slightly different...I suppose its how its measured...illumination source colour, calibration of colorimeter, and which colour space is used.

Okay, the RGB file(s) can probably be edited into a format that will work for DataCAD. The screen representation is only a representation.
