RAL or BS Paint colour 1

[prefix]

We are fabricating a job that requires a paint specification with the finish colour SHELL YELLOW, I assume this to be Shell as in Petroleum
Can any one of you experts tell me the RAL or BS number for this yellow

 

[SJones]

For structural steel, handrails, stairs etc: RAL 1032 if DEP 70.48.11.30-Gen is being applied.

prefix,
If I were you, I would look up carefuly on the internet for the definition of Shell Yellow;- it does not have a RAL allocation. It is a color of its own and doesn't have a standard code. In fact, it doesn't seem to be a very consistent color, each supplier seem to have his own 'definition', as seen on the internet...
cheers,

Thanks for the information and advise,
I "ASSUME" that DEP 70.48.11.30-Gen is the Company specification?

I'd go back to your customer and ask them for a paint chip or explicit definition.

I'm assuming you'd hate to paint it based on what we or some other internet source tells you, only for the customer to reject it.

DEP 70.48.11.30-Gen is the Shell specification for offshore painting.

ALWAYS get a RAL or BS colour specification not simply a name.
It will probably save you a repainting job at some point!

No 'Shell' yellow.

A point from the above is that although those are all types of 'yellow' and are labelled as such in the RAL index, many we would consider oranges, mustards and in one case, grey.
