# Where can I find filament in a specific color / color matching?

Francofil PLA lists a nozzle of 190–230 °C (374–446 °F), and the catalog stores 15 RAL names on that row, including Anthracite RAL 7016. Arianeplast PLA stores three Pantone names, including Yellow Pantone 116U. Those are imported color names, not a match calculated on this page.

Match a stored name, then print that spool's own temperatures. [Why one color prints differently from another](/answers/filament_color) is the process page. [Comparing brands](/answers/compare_brand) is the brand page. Neither page invents a color code, and this one does not either.
## Names the catalog already stores

[Francofil PLA](/brand/francofil/pla) lists a nozzle of 190–230 °C (374–446 °F) and a bed of 50–70 °C (122–158 °F) from the Open Filament Database, imported 13 October 2026. The color names that include a RAL code are Anthracite RAL 7016, Blue RAL 5002, Blue RAL 5015, Fluorescent Yellow RAL 1026, Green RAL 6000, Green RAL 6018, Grey RAL 7000, Grey RAL 7001, Grey RAL 7040, Orange RAL 2003, Pink - RAL 4003, Pistachio Green - RAL 6019, Red RAL 3020, Violet RAL 4009, and Yellow RAL 1018. A fetch of francofil.com on 26 October 2026 returned a gateway timeout, so these stay the imported names.

[Arianeplast PLA](/brand/arianeplast/pla) uses the same nozzle and bed on its imported row. The Pantone names stored there are Ultra Violet Pantone 5F4B8B, Vert Pantone 3268C, and Yellow Pantone 116U.

[Tectonic Aura ASA](/brand/tectonic-3d/aura-asa) lists 235–260 °C (455–500 °F) and a bed of 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Its stored RAL names are Light Grey RAL 7035, Nato Green RAL 6031, and White RAL 9016. The same brand's Aura ABS row stores EC Black (RAL9011) and EC Red (RAL3001). The Aura co-polyester row stores Red (RAL3020) and Yellow (RAL1023). [Das Filament PETG](/brand/das-filament/petg) stores RAL 7016. [Recycling Fabrik PLA](/brand/recyclingfabrik/pla) stores RAL 3000 Fire Red and RAL 3001 Signal Red. The order is the order the names were read off the rows. It is not a ranking of which red is closer to a chip.
## What the community says

[a Reddit thread in r/functionalprint](https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/16h10or/) objects to switching spools 50 times to print a rectangle of colours, and leaves it at "if you enjoyed it I guess you do you."

[a Reddit thread in r/3Dprinting](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/11kubkv/) looks at the roll and calls it red, and would stay with one company for high-value items.
