RAL 9007

Grey Aluminium

RAL 9007 Grey Aluminium is a darker metallic silver that provides a more subdued, sophisticated alternative to the brighter White Aluminium. This refined metallic shade replicates the appearance of anodized or brushed aluminium, delivering a premium, engineered aesthetic. Grey Aluminium is specified for premium facade systems, automotive trim components, and sophisticated architectural metalwork where a darker, more understated metallic finish is preferred over bright silver.
