What RAL number for the white colour on an SHK glider?

Post by LarsWikstrom »

Hi,

I was going to order white coloured dope for my SHK and was asked what RAL number I wanted.
As I want to make it scale, what RAL number would you suggest?
I have sorted out the red.

Many thanks, Lars

This reply will not answer your specific question but the reference for the white on my Valenta Sabre is RAL9003 - Signal White.

There must be lots of whites out there. RAL9003 is different from Halfords "Appliance White", for example. Not even easy to see things in black and white these days.....

Pure white is RAL9010.
Looks up a RAL chart for the various shades of white & choose the one you want.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.
I have copied the two versions 9003 and 9010 below. What are your thoughts?

Depends on your monitor's colour temp.. The left one looks grey on my screen set to "movie" but the right one looks a bit yellow on "standard"

(Its never easy with 'puters!)

Yep, 9003/Signal White is what most kit manufacturers use.
