I have to paint some kit in FED-STD-595 colour 33446, dessert tan.

I need to cross refer to an equivelent European colour I can get hold
of. So I need a RAL or Pantone equivelent.

I have found 1 possible cross ref on google but wondered if anyone
here actually knew the best cross ref.

The official FS-595 to "rough approximation" RGB listing is at
http://www.fed-std-595.com/FS-595-Paint-Spec.html

.... and http://www.netfront.fr/Services/rgb2pantone/ has an RGB to
Pantone app

.... but it doesn't look promising.

Thanks Rich.

I hadn't thought to check it through the RGB value.

I had already found RAL 1019 as the suggested alternative but the
source was poor. Checking via RGB gave me the same answer and is more
rigourous.

Now I can order my flan coloured boxes.
