JBL colors - blue and grey

[yvonf]

Hello JBL fanatics !

First : i made a search and read all posts regarding blue and grey paint...;)

For blue it seems it's RAL 5007. Right ?
For grey, i didn't find answer...
So with an official color collection, i try to compare with my 2397. It's not so evident (perhaps my eyes arn't so acurate... :() and i "pre-selected" RAL 7012, 7015 or 7039.

Any members have made the test to confirm which one is more similar ?

And we can definitely specify those colors ? :yes:

Happy new year to all of you ! :beach:

For those wondering what RAL is.

I guess Pantone is the standard in the USA.

Hello JBL fanatics !

:hmm: Ok, you can see the conversion table at : http://www.groensteen.net/couleur.php

So regarding JBL, the question with pantone remains :

For the blue : RAL5007 or Pantone 5405C - is it right ?

For the grey : RAL7012 - Pantone 445C
or RAL7015 - Pantone 425C
or RAL7039 - Pantone 418C - which one ?

Any opinion ? :coolness:

TIA :wave:

Pantone is the international reference for the printing industry (inks-dyes) . RAL is for Pigment (organic-inorganic) there is not an accurate cross-reference. Mix your own is my advice. Or I can mix it for you , You buy the paint and postage. ;)


PM.Saeman and see what he suggests !

Try RAL 5012 as your base then add 5021 until you get there.

the grey is RAL 7038 , tint darker if you need to.

Remember , water-based dries lighter and oil-based dries darker !
