RAL 2027+ focuses on Envision + Craft

We are living in a moment of transformation, where new design languages coexist with a renewed need for security, identity, and cultural roots. From this tension emerges a synthesis that combines forward-looking vision and enduring values—without giving up creative freedom.

“Envision” represents the ability to guide decisions through a clear vision of the future; “Craft” is the care with which that vision takes shape through precise and continuously refined design. According to the German color institute, RAL 2027+ offers concrete advantages: continuity between collections, reduced production costs, new accent tones for product differentiation, systematic color coordination to build coherent product families, and a better alignment with international taste.

Hands-on
color design

The fifteen 2027+ shades were tested in real-life conditions by RAL’s color experts. The goal? To truly understand their combinations and potential, revealing a versatile palette suitable for soft, relaxing, playful, or more conversational atmospheres.

Accent tones (Marzipan Pink, Topaz Yellow, Kiwi Sorbet Green, and Spicy Red) bring energy and contemporary character. Pale Sienna, Pepper White, and Light Teal add lightness and material authenticity. Meanwhile, the base colors—Pinkish Brown, Corundum Blue, Spanish Green, and Olivine Grey—give solidity and work beautifully on large surfaces. Renner Italia’s tinting systems make it possible to reproduce these nuances efficiently, supporting all design insights and combinations both in furniture and beyond.
