RAL is a proprietary European color system (Pantone is USA)
You can get the colors on line, just do a search for RAL example: https://www.ral-farben.de/en/all-ral-colours or https://www.e-paint.co.uk/RAL-classic-colour-chart.asp
I do not have much in the way of resources for this, there is a debian 'extra' palettes package which contains a RAL palette for Gimp / Inkscape. Not as comprehensive as a Pantono but it is named colors (attached, unzip it Ral-pefg.gpl)
looks like this as a colour chart
and
In Inkscape put Ral_pefg.gpl in the User palettes folder, (not sure where that is in a Windows Inkscape).
