Advice on Pre-painted Steel Color Selection

Selection by environment:

• High temperature/high UV areas: light color (RAL 9016) reflects heat and reduces surface temperature.
• Rainy/polluted areas: dark gray (RAL 7016) resists dirt and reduces maintenance.

Choose by design style:

• Modern minimalism: black, white and gray (RAL 9003/7016/9006).
• Natural ecology: green/beige (RAL 6029/1015).
• Industrial: metallic (RAL 9006) or dark brown (RAL 8017).

Choose by functional requirements:

• Weathering priority: PVDF-coated RAL colors (better color retention).
• Cost-sensitive: Polyester (PE) coated standard colors (e.g. RAL 9016).
