It might not have an exact RAL colour match, but if you take a piece into a paint shop that has a paint colour match service they'll scan it and either mix to match or find the nearest paint colour they have.

If you don't mind being a bit cheeky ... when I requested a brochure
from <http://www.theradiatorcompany.co.uk> they included a nice
fan/swatch of RAL colours.

Nice idea - but wouldn't that just be of the RAL colours that *their* radiators
come in? Whereas there are thousands of colours in the RAL standard.

You can buy prints of the standard colours if you want one. You won't get them free, each colour block is painted on.

It has all the RAL classic colours, they will custom paint to any of
them (and a few specials).

Seems to be about 230 in the classic set, do you know which 'palette'
Howdens offer?

Hi, I'm also looking for a RAL or Hexcode match for Howdens cashmere. Still haven't succeeded, but by chance, FRrow and Ball's ELEPHANT'S BREATH seems an identical tonal match but slightly darker, might be a helpful starting point for others

Hi Redbull117, any joy with this ? I’m in exactly the same situation with my Matt cashmere kitchen. Interested to see how you got on

Bit late for your reprimand, they only see your post after the event.
Before replying to a reply to a 5 year old post, perhaps one should stop
to think?
