What color is a ShopBot?

[brett@r26D]

We are having a vacuum former fabricated and have the option to match the powder coat to our ShopBot PRS. So what color is our ShopBot?

First we took pictures and used the Eye Dropper tool in Photoshop. We used a Nix Sensor to measure the color directly on the gantry. We pulled the color out the logo on the ShopBot Tools web site. Every blue was different.

Finally, we went to the source where we should have started and Dianne instantly replied with RAL 5022.

Official Color: RAL 5022 -- HTML/RAL/Pantone conversion http://rgb.to/ral/5022
ShopBot Website Logo: r:51 g:0 b:102
Our Nix Sensor Result: r:0 g:26 b:59

Hope that helps.

I know this thread is old but thought maybe the following information could be useful.

I was able to find a company with the RAL 5022 color for powder coating:

https://www.powderbuythepound.com/ral-5022-night-blue.html

I have no relationship with this company what so ever, just found it had RAL 5022, so I don't know how good their product is....I ordered 2lbs of the powder, so I will test it when it arrives and post a follow-up.

I hope that helps someone else.
