In 1927, the German group Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung (Imperial Committee for Delivery and Quality Assurance) invented a colour management system that is still used in Europe. The system’s modern caretaker is administered by the German RAL GmbH which is a subsidiary of the German RAL Institut. The names in the lists below are from the RAL Classic color system, created in 1927 and modified in 1930, and the RAL Design system, which was created in 1993.
