Swedish term or phrase: (färg)kulör
hello

I've almost finished a 5k job and I've had "färg" hundreds of times for marking of tall objects to warn aircraft. Now suddenly, right at the end, just to make it hard for me, I have:

Färgsystemet av typ RAL (Reichausschuss für Lieferbedingungen) I färgsystemet av typ RAL (RAL Classic) betecknas ***kulörerna*** med ett fyrsiffrigt nummer.

and even more confusing

Vid markering av vindkraftverk får den vita färgkulören enligt CIE-standard ersättas med vit ***färgkulör*** enligt färgsystem RAL 7035, RAL 7038 eller RAL 9003.

So my question is; Is there a difference between "fârg" and "kulör" and if "yes", how to express this in English

If 'no", what is färgkulör" then??? Just a pointless reiteration or emphasis or what?

Thanks in advance

Explanation:
And in your example they are saying that it is possible to replace the shade of white paint identified by the CIE standard with paint of the shade represented by either RAL 7035, RAL 7038 or RAL 9003.

neutral  Deane Goltermann: Why not RAL color code? which is the difference between color (colour) and color ;-) ... or surface treatment color.https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic Still some reading for Dave. RAL color code says it, tho I'm making fun (trying) of the issue,

agree  Tobias Bergius: Agree on "shade". Or simply "colour". The issue is that "färg" can have the meaning both of "paint" and "colour". When you need a distinction between the material and the color, "färg" refers to paint and "kulör" to color. "Färg" in färgkulör is redundant

Explanation:
RAL is an European color matching system which defines colors for paint, coatings and plastics. ... 'RAL' is the abbreviation of 'Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen und Gütesicherung'. This name can be translated in English as 'National Commission for Delivery Terms and Quality Assurance'
