RAL color
White Aluminium (#A5A5A5) is a medium-light, cool neutral grey from the RAL Classic system, calibrated to match the natural anodised appearance of architectural aluminium profiles and window frames. Used universally in aluminium window systems, curtain walling, and facade components, it provides a clean, contemporary neutral that reads as a metallic white in context. The cool neutrality references the silvery, light-reflecting quality of the metal itself.

Properties
Color Psychology
Medium gray represents balance, neutrality, and diplomatic composure. It is the color of concrete, steel, and overcast skies, suggesting urban modernity and industrial strength. Gray communicates professionalism and impartiality in equal measure.
Design Usage
Medium gray is essential for body text, icons, and secondary labels in user interfaces. It provides the typographic backbone of design systems, separating primary from secondary information. Ensure proper contrast ratios since many popular mid-gray values fall below WCAG AA for text on white backgrounds.
