RAL 840 B2 colour chart

#1

Who can send me a pdf scan of this chart, as it does not correspond with the modern RAL numbers. I would like to sort out my paint numbers before painting a model. Any help will be appreciated!

Be aware that it is problematic to use a scan for determining colors. In addition to possible color fading of the chart, the scanning process much be properly controlled to ensure correct color preservation. In addition, viewing it on the monitor is highly unreliable, as monitors reproduce colors very differently, and printing it is equally unreliable unless both the person scanning and the person printing the document has access to the same color reference chart, which is scanned alongside the document.
