I'm going nuts ( short trip ) looking for some RAL 6014 paint ( Federal Standard 24064 ) which apparently is close, but not quite Humbrol #155 or Xtracolor X:X254. In the process, I found Urban Fredriksson's Color Reference Chart online at link where it lists the conversion and what color was used when/where. So, while I still can't get Olivegelb ( olive gold ) at least everyone now can verify their modern paint colors online.

While I was looking, I've found that if you want your garage door, your house, a Unimog or even a horse-drawn buggy in your favorite RAL-listed color, its available. Try explaining to your homeowner's association that your house's new color scheme meets with Luftwaffe approval.

this place works for me when converting Pantones to RAL or RGB etc – I work with plastic mouldings, so convertion between colour standards is essential.

There are loads of places who will mix you up paints to pantone or RAL standards – pretend you're a big company and they usually send you a sample.

My GAZ is painted in a DULUX equivilant of the original Russian 'green' I got mixed up from my local Homebase.
