My house has has external wooden features that were painted with Solignum Architectural from new, and I repaint them every 4/5 years. The time has come when I need to paint them again, but I am struggling finding this Solignum product in suitable sizes.
I can get Zinsser as an alternative, so no problem, but I'm struggling matching the shade. Solignum does not use RAL colours and only gives its shades names such as Jacobean! Has anyone else come up against this problem and were they able to figure out the closest RAL shade?
My best guess is that Jacobean is approximately RAL 8014, but as I don't have a colour-calibrated computer monitor, that's all I have - a "best guess". Does anyone in the DiyNot collective have any better ideas? Thanks.
