Heath actually used no less than 5 different "shades" of paint on the SB-Line cabinets.  It was possible to purchase, at the same time, 5 different models of SB-Line equipment (i.e. SB-301, SB-401, SB-200, SB-600, and SB-620) and have the kits arrive with cabinets of all 5 different colors!  Also, Heath used at least 3 different "shades" of green on the front panels and it was possible to get all 3 of those colors at the same time.  There was a 4th shade of front panel green, but, that shade was on the wattmeters!

The cabinet colors ranged from an almost lime green to a gray with just a "hint" of green.  The gray with just a "hint" of green was, in my opinion, the best looking of all 5 shades.  That shade is what I use to paint SB-Line cabinets on my Heath equipment and on cabinets that I paint for others..  I have no idea as to what the "RAL" number is for that shade of green.  However, I have had that shade of green matched by the Sherwin-Williams Company here in the United States.  That formula can be used by any paint company in this country to mix the appropriate color.  I don't know for sure, but I would think that a paint company in your country could match the color using this formula.  You can find that formula in the article on my website which is

Hello!
I am new here. Does anybody have an idea of the RAL number of the SB101
cabinet, or of a suitable paint?
