We've received almost countless requests for such
information as what is the the Ral equivalent of Pantone 554
and 228C ... the Pantone equivalent of Ral 5020 and 5009 ...
etc., etc.
We also reprint here a few of the better replies to the
inquiries from our finishing.com public forum --
There is probably an easier way, but in
the past (converting RGB images to embroidery thread
colours) I scanned a colour chart, then used the colour
blocks to set up a custom pallette in Photoshop, then told
photoshop to convert the image to the custom pallette.
Alternatively, scan the RAL colours and determine manually
which has RGB values closest to yours.

All the years I have been working with colours I have
never found an exact correlation between these two colour
systems [RAL & Pantone]. The best way is to sit down
with a RAL and a Pantone colour chart and look for similar
colours. If you have a spectrophotometer test the colours on
it. The Ral colour range is German. If you type in
http://www.ral.de/de/ral_farben/farbkarten/ral_classic.php
this will tell you all you need to know about RAl colours.
Alternatively if you just want a colour chart (not exact
shade) with RAL colours on it. Speak to a friendly paint
supplier. (a European Industrial paint supplier is your best
bet).

Actually RAL and Munsell are using different standard
of colors. So no exactly the same color for both. But you
can find the closest one. You can use Munsell Conversion
color from www.gretagmacbeth.com then go to
www.easyrgb.com/matching.php to find the
closest RAL Code.
