RAL Color Matching in High-Pressure Laminates: A Designer’s Guide

When it comes to design, colour accuracy can make the difference between a cohesive, professional finish and a mismatched look. RAL colour matching in High-Pressure Laminates (HPL) ensures that every panel, sheet, or surface matches the intended shade — with no unwanted variation.

What is RAL Colour Matching?

RAL is a globally recognised colour standard used by designers, manufacturers, and architects to ensure colour consistency. Each RAL colour is assigned a unique code, removing guesswork from the design process and guaranteeing that what you choose is exactly what you get.

Why RAL is Important in HPL Design

In large projects — whether it’s a commercial façade, a kitchen renovation, or a retail interior — multiple sheets of laminate are often required. Without precise colour matching, the result can appear uneven. With Samrat HPL’s RAL matched laminates, every sheet is produced to meet the exact RAL code, ensuring seamless uniformity.

Popular RAL Colours in Laminates

Certain RAL shades have become go-to choices for both interiors and exteriors.

• RAL 7016 (Anthracite Grey): Modern, elegant, and versatile.

• RAL 9016 (Traffic White): Clean, bright, and timeless.

• RAL 7035 (Light Grey): Subtle and adaptable for many design schemes.

How to Select the Right RAL Shade for Your Project

• Consider lighting — colours look different under natural and artificial light.

• Match with complementary materials — metals, woods, or stones.

• Choose finishes (matte, gloss, textured) that enhance the shade’s character.

Ensuring Colour Consistency Across Applications

From interior panels to exterior cladding, Samrat HPL ensures colour stability and fade resistance, so your chosen shade remains consistent over time — even in high-UV or high-traffic environments.

Conclusion
RAL colour matching in HPL is more than a visual choice — it’s about achieving professional precision. With Samrat HPL, designers can rely on exact shades, lasting performance, and finishes that elevate any project.
