New API V3.0: Get our API at a special price. Get it now. Get more detailed color conversion results - perfect for web projects, plugins, internal tools or SaaS applications. Valid from 2025-10-21 up to and including 2025-11-21 (23:59 CET)
First enter the color code to find the conversion and the best matching colors. After that, you can create palettes by clicking on and download color samples.
When you need industrial coating colours or architectural shades for digital use, you can convert from RAL to HEX. The physical RAL colour is matched to a display colour and output as #RRGGBB, so architectural, product or interior colours can be used reliably in web and app design.
The conversion from RAL to HEX helps you keep brand colours consistent across media and materials — from metal or plastics to CSS, Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD. qConv finds the closest digital HEX value for your RAL code and can also show RGB, HSL or LAB.
Note: RAL is pigment/material-based, HEX is light-based. Small shifts can occur when converting RAL to HEX, depending on gloss level, lighting and substrate.
How does it work?
For the RAL to HEX conversion, qConv compares RAL references (e.g., LAB) with displayable RGB values and selects the match with the lowest ΔE difference. The resulting RGB is then transformed into the hex format #RRGGBB.
The result is a practical HEX colour code representing your RAL tone on screens. You can review ΔE differences, compare alternatives and generate harmonies/contrasts — all in qConv.
Best practice: perform RAL → HEX, validate on a calibrated display, then fine-tune a UI-ready HEX (e.g., for hover/active states).
Example & application
For example, a vivid RAL traffic red may, after converting RAL to HEX, land near a digital red like #CC0000 (exact values vary by source and conditions). qConv provides the concrete HEX code plus RGB/HSL and alternative matches.
Typical uses: brand style guides, online configurators, 3D previews, product teasers, GUI elements and accessibility contrast checks. With qConv you can also export palettes, build gradients and ensure cross-media consistency.
* Note:
qConv.com searches for the next matching color from the selected color palette. In most cases, there will be minimal or apparent color differences because there is not an exact match for every color.
The RAL® color system is an internationally recognized standard for defining and communicating colors. Originating in Germany in 1927, RAL established a consistent catalog that assigns each color a unique four-digit number, such as “RAL 3020 Traffic Red.”
The classic RAL® palette includes 213 standardized colors in the RAL Classic collection. Each tone is precisely defined to ensure color consistency across materials, manufacturers, and applications. Beyond RAL Classic, there are also the RAL Design System Plus and RAL Effect lines, offering more than 2,500 colors for architecture, product design, and industrial coatings.
Usage
RAL® is widely used in architecture, construction, automotive, and industrial manufacturing to define exact color specifications for paints, coatings, and materials. It is the standard reference for designers, engineers, and production companies that require accurate and repeatable color matching worldwide.
Designers often use RAL colors when creating brand elements, interiors, and exterior coatings. The universal numbering system ensures that a chosen RAL color looks the same across all production environments.
Tips for Designers & Engineers
When selecting RAL colors, consider the surface finish — glossy, matte, or textured coatings can affect perception. Always compare samples under realistic lighting conditions. The RAL Design System Plus offers finer gradations for designers who need nuanced hues for product and interior applications.
With qConv, you can convert RAL® colors to HEX, RGB, CMYK, Pantone® or HKS® formats, making it easy to align digital and physical color specifications within your design process.
The hexadecimal color system is one of the most widely used methods for representing colors in digital media. It combines the three primary colors — Red, Green, and Blue — and expresses their values using hexadecimal notation. Each color component is represented by two characters, forming a six-digit code such as #FF5733.
The first two digits represent red, the middle two green, and the last two blue. The range of each pair goes from 00 to FF, corresponding to 0–255 in decimal values. With this structure, there are a total of 16,777,216 possible hexadecimal colors, covering nearly the full visible RGB color range.
Usage
Hexadecimal color codes are the standard for web design, front-end development, and digital branding. They are supported in HTML, CSS, SVG, and nearly all design applications. HEX values are compact, easy to read, and ideal for defining precise colors in digital interfaces, animations, and style sheets.
In professional design workflows, HEX values are often used alongside RGB or HSL to ensure consistency across screens. Designers can also use HEX-to-RGB conversions to fine-tune colors for print simulations or cross-platform visual harmony.
Tips for Designers & Developers
When creating color palettes, group HEX values that share visual harmony — for instance, complementary or analogous combinations. Use lowercase HEX (e.g. #a1b2c3) for better readability and code consistency.
With qConv, you can instantly convert HEX colors into RGB, CMYK, or Pantone® equivalents, generate gradients, or explore related shades and tints. Perfect for designers and developers seeking pixel-perfect color accuracy.
