RAL Colours for Metal Doors
Many powder-coated and specialist-painted metal door systems can be ordered in a range of RAL colours, subject to supplier availability.
RAL Colours for Metal DoorsThis finish study supports ral colours for metal doors by focusing on surface, colour and material appearance rather than an unrelated door component.
Choose the finish around the material and the final look.
Internal doors and MDF: painted and lacquered finishes can range from classic white to project-specific colours, with frames and architraves matched or contrasted.
Steel and fabricated metal doors: powder coating is normally the preferred route for a durable, consistent colour finish. RAL-style colour selection can be discussed where the coating system supports it.
Aluminium: powder coating is a strong standard option, while suitable specialist wet-paint or automotive-style systems may be considered for projects requiring a particular visual finish.
Stainless steel: the finish may come from the metal itself through brushing, polishing or a more satin/matt treatment rather than relying on paint. Final suitability always depends on the actual substrate and door system.
For design-led projects, related tones, contrasting colours, inside/outside colour changes and coordinated frame/hardware finishes can all be explored before the final specification is agreed.

Colour selection should be confirmed against the actual coating system and sample because screen colours can differ from finished metal.

Steel Doors
Steel doors can be considered where a robust metal door leaf and compatible frame suit the opening, use and required finish. The surrounding frame, hardware, finish and exposure conditions should be considered together so the complete door set suits the opening and intended use.

Wet-Painted Metal Doors
Wet-paint systems can be used on suitable prepared metal doors and frames when the selected coating system is compatible with the substrate and intended environment. The surrounding frame, hardware, finish and exposure conditions should be considered together so the complete door set suits the opening and intended use.
