Greater colour choice with the Natural Colour System.

Over the years standard colour ranges like British Standard 4800 and the RAL Classic colours have been adopted to offer their clients a choice of colour. These ranges were readily available from most manufacturers making it easy for contractors to source products for their projects. The RAL Classic range contains 199 solid colours, 4 fluorescents and 10 metallics and it has been the main colour range specified by architects for architectural aluminium and steel fabrications.

Over the last five decades it has become the dominant colour range adopted on a global scale. Times are now changing; designers and specifiers are searching for a wider choice of colours and subtle tonal variations between colours to feature and highlight elements of their designs.
