The gloss fan shows colors as they appear on high‑shine surfaces, while the semi‑matt fan reflects the same hues on low‑gloss finishes, helping you visualize the final appearance on different materials.

Can I use the RAL K5 fans for digital design work?

Yes. The precise 4‑digit codes can be entered into most design software that supports RAL libraries, ensuring accurate color reproduction in digital renderings.

Is the protective cover water‑resistant?

The cover is made from a water‑repellent polymer that protects the pages from occasional splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.

Do the color names include translations for all major markets?

Each swatch lists the RAL name in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Dutch, covering the primary markets for architectural and design projects.

How often is the RAL color system updated?

RAL reviews and updates its palette periodically; the K5 Classic set reflects the current standard as of its release date and will remain accurate for years of professional use.
