How do you mean?............. explain?

I'm guessing they're refering to the red of the NIR logo and what RAL number or equalivant it would be.

the Red NIR logo, should've clarified on what I was referring to.

I would say it’s probobly best to just eyeball it? It looks small so it shouldn’t make too much of a difference

[jhb171achill]

Ah! Got ya.

I can’t answer as per the actual code, but it looks as if a standard buffer beam red would do.

Looks like somewhere between RAL 3003 to RAL3005. See attached for Industry Standard  RAL Colour Chart

 

or you could look at this site.

Bit difficult to imagine N I Railways a UK state funded body selecting German RAL (Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung) rather than BS (British Standard) colours for its corporate colour scheme.

The CIE corporate colour scheme of the 1960s was developed by a Swedish firm of consultants hence the use of a RAL code rather than a BS No  for the orange/tan.

Might be worth contacting Translink or the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum for a definitive answer.

On the basis of the above, I'd say closest to 3003. Nos. 3000-2 are defini8tely too light, and 05 is too dark. The rest are irrelevantly different.

I'd say that's right.
