1. Is the RAL colour space a decent one for printing purposes? What would be disadvantages, if not?
No, it’s not. RAL colors are defined only for surface colors, like lacquer (varnish? paint). Printing colors work differently, they’re mostly transparent. A parallel to RAL in printing colors would be Pantone (or HKS in Germany, Toyo in Japan). But these are copyrighted, so we would be most probably not allowed to ship a library of these. (If I need some spot color, I look up the CMYK/RGB mix in Photoshop or InDesign.)
2. Does colo-imp-ral.mkiv exist already?
That would make no sense IMO. Greetlings, Hraban (printing engineer) --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
