Wall/ paint colours

[MRD Mark Ridgewell]

More and more I find a need to indicate wall colours in models views/ elevation etc.

Lots of colour palettes in VW's, but as far as I can see, apart from one  universal system, ie. pantone, the only one that's relevant to UK market is Farrow and Ball., which doesn't reflect their latest range. Would be hugely useful to have these updated!

 

Does anyone know of any easy to import resource for these....

 

RAL?

BS (eg. BS4800)?

Dulux?

Would be very useful to have NCS colors too.

In Germany, mostly RAL colors used only.

 

 

These are hard to get.

Here is an App that can directly export to VW, as someone said :

RAL digital

 

Has RAL and some other tables.

 

Here is the thread in german :

RAL colors are copyrighted, so unless Vw licenses them you won't get any assistance in importing them here on the User Forums.

...I did wonder. We'll all have to start using BS4800, assuming that doesn't have the same issue?!

 

Anyway, for reference if anyone's interested;

Dulux is in there, it is three years old.  I will put in a note to look at updating all these color lines and see if we can get the ones we do not have yet.  Sometimes it is hard for us to get the data from paint companies.  we have been trying for several years to get one us Manufacturer, and every time we get someone to agree, they disappear.

 

Thanks Rob, that would be great! Dulux references in UK are different I think to those currently in VW, format for example is '70YY 83/037'. Not sure if EU is the same?!

Did anything come of this?  We use Little Greene Paint Company colours surely these could be added?

Did anything come of this? Dulux UK is different to the Canadian edition that is currently available on VW2022.

As suggested above, it would be great to get Little Greene too.
