RAL 9005
Jet Black
RAL 9005 Jet Black is the deepest, most intense black in the RAL Classic system, named after the polished jet gemstone prized since the Victorian era. This absolute black delivers maximum visual depth and drama, making it the definitive choice for premium architectural metalwork, luxury automotive finishes, and dramatic interior design. Jet Black is available in both matte and gloss finishes, with the gloss variant producing a mirror-like, piano-black surface that has become iconic in luxury product design.
