This catalogue contains 2356 entries. It was created to list targets of interest that have similar near- and mid-infrared characteristics than R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars which are hydrogen-deficient carbon-rich supergiant stars known to possess warm circumstellar shells. It is therefore a catalogue enriched in such objects and further spectroscopic follow-ups are needed to reveal the true nature of each target. The catalogue was produced from a series of selection criteria on the infrared colours and brightness of sources published in the WISE All-Sky data release, and also listed in the 2MASS catalogue. These sources spread over the entire sky. The selection criteria are described in section 2 of the paper.
