The reliable standard for your door colour
Do you want a very specific colour for your new aluminium front door – and quickly realise that terms like “grey” or “anthracite” allow for an astonishing amount of leeway? This is exactly where RAL colours provide clarity. They precisely define which shade is meant, so there are no misunderstandings between your idea, our advice, and the subsequent delivery. You can find out why we adhere to this standard and what you should consider when choosing a colour here.
What's behind RAL colours?
Anyone designing their home knows the problem: as soon as you talk about colours with tradespeople, manufacturers, or in retail, vague ideas can easily lead to confusion – after all, countless colour nuances exist. The RAL standard solves this by clearly naming colour shades and assigning them a fixed number. Created back in the 1920s, this system is now recognised worldwide as a standard in design, industry, and craftsmanship. The collection now includes several thousand defined shades – in the grey range alone, there are dozens of variants. For your door colour, this means maximum certainty that exactly the shade you envisioned will arrive.
An overview of our colour shades
In our product range, we also refer to RAL numbers so that you can reliably assess every door visually. Timeless classics are particularly popular: warm and cool grey tones that appear modern and elegant and suit almost any facade, bright white tones for a friendly, clear look, and strong dark tones for those looking for a striking contrast. You can see which colours are currently available directly with each individual door model – the corresponding RAL tone is stored there in the options.
What to consider when choosing a colour – our professional tips
An important note upfront: RAL colours almost always appear slightly different on screen than in reality because monitors are backlit. The substrate, surface structure, and lighting conditions also change the perception – a finely structured powder coating, for example, reflects light differently than a smooth surface. Therefore, do not rely solely on the on-screen representation for your final decision.
Our tip: If possible, view your desired shade in real life and in daylight directly on your facade before making a final decision. Our team will also be happy to advise you personally on which colour shade suits your house and your style.
