How RAL 3012 reads
Much lighter than the rest of the red group, beige red is a soft pinkish beige with a peach glow. It is warmer than RAL 1019 grey beige and gentler than RAL 3022 salmon pink.
Where it turns up
It suits interior walls, render, furniture and decorative pieces. Pinkish beiges vary a lot under artificial light, so view the sample at home under your own bulbs.
Ordering RAL 3012 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 3012" and add the gloss level, the product type (wall paint, metal paint, powder, aerosol) and the surface. The same number mixed by two makers, or in two gloss levels, can look slightly different, so keep a whole job in one batch and look at a sample in daylight first. The paint counter guide covers the questions to ask.
