RAL 7005

Mouse Grey

RAL 7005 Mouse Grey is a medium, neutral grey with a very slight green undertone that gives it a natural, organic quality. This practical, unassuming shade is widely used for industrial machinery, commercial furniture, and architectural metalwork where a functional, non-distracting finish is required. Mouse Grey conceals dust and minor surface imperfections well, making it a pragmatic choice for high-traffic industrial and commercial environments where maintenance efficiency is a priority.
