How the nearest RAL match is calculated

Your colour is compared against all 217 RAL Classic colours and the closest one is returned, using a weighted RGB distance (the "redmean" approximation) which weights the channels closer to how the eye perceives them than a plain Euclidean distance would. Everything runs in your browser.

Important: RAL colours are not RGB values

RAL Classic colours are defined by physical paint samples, not by screen values. The hex values used here are the widely used screen approximations from Wikipedia's List of RAL colours, and the same RAL code can look noticeably different when printed on different substrates. Use this converter for on-screen reference only — for paint mixing, printing or production work, always confirm against a physical RAL fan deck.

How it works

px = pt × 4/3 — at the standard 96dpi: 72pt = 96px

Examples

Input	Output
12 pt	16 px
18 pt	24 px
10 pt	13.333 px

Frequently Asked Questions

How many px is 12pt?

12pt × 4/3 = 16px at the CSS standard 96dpi. This is the classic '16px body text = 12pt' equivalence.

Why is the ratio 4/3?

CSS fixes 1in = 96px and 1in = 72pt, so 1px = 72/96 pt = 0.75pt and 1pt = 96/72 px = 4/3 px.

Do browsers render pt correctly on screen?

Yes, pt is converted to px at the fixed 96dpi ratio, so it works — but px or rem is preferred for screen design.
