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

pt = px × 0.75 — at the standard CSS 96dpi: 96px = 72pt, so 1px = 0.75pt

Frequently Asked Questions

How many points is a pixel?

At the CSS standard of 96dpi, 1px = 0.75pt (96px = 72pt). The ratio is fixed in CSS regardless of screen density.

When do I need pt instead of px?

Points are a print-unit (1pt = 1/72 inch). They appear in email CSS, print stylesheets and design handoffs from tools like Illustrator or Word.

Is this exact at 300dpi?

The CSS px↔pt ratio is fixed at 96dpi by spec. For print production at 300dpi use a dedicated dpi calculator — the CSS relationship does not change.
