I'm looking for a way to transform the RAL color palette to hex or RGB so I can use the colors in CSS (all/any of them).
Is there an XML file someone can point me to, or a database somewhere, that's an elegant solution, rather than my scraping the data myself?
(BTW very surprised "hex" and "RAL" aren't tags here...yet)
Well, ended up scraping it myself from RALcolor.com. Here it is in JSON format if someone needs it in the future.
