RAL or BS Paint colour
(OP)
We are fabricating a job that requires a paint specification with the finish colour SHELL YELLOW, I assume this to be Shell as in Petroleum
Can any one of you experts tell me the RAL or BS number for this yellow

If I were you, I would look up carefuly on the internet for the definition of Shell Yellow;- it does not have a RAL allocation. It is a color of its own and doesn't have a standard code. In fact, it doesn't seem to be a very consistent color, each supplier seem to have his own 'definition', as seen on the internet...

I "ASSUME" that DEP 70.48.11.30-Gen is the Company specification?
RE: RAL or BS Paint colour
I'm assuming you'd hate to paint it based on what we or some other internet source tells you, only for the customer to reject it.
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?

It will probably save you a repainting job at some point!

RAL 1004 Golden yellow
RAL 1003 Signal yellow
RAL 1005 Honey yellow
RAL 1007 Daffodil yellow
RAL 1012 Lemon yellow
RAL 1016 Sulfur yellow
RAL 1018 Zinc yellow
RAL 1020 Olive yellow
RAL 1023 Traffic yellow

RAL 1017 Saffron yellow
RAL 1032 Broom yellow
RAL 1028 Melon yellow
RAL 1024 Ochre yellow
RAL 1033 Dahlia yellow
RAL 1034 Pastel yellow
No 'Shell' yellow.
A point from the above is that although those are all types of 'yellow' and are labelled as such in the RAL index, many we would consider oranges, mustards and in one case, grey.
