How RAL 3015 reads
Light pink is pale and gentle, with a slightly cool tone that keeps it from looking sugary. It is lighter than RAL 3014 antique pink and reads soft and powdery rather than candy bright.
Where it turns up
It suits children's rooms, furniture, bikes and decorative metal. Use a white primer to keep the pink clean and expect to need two topcoats.
Ordering RAL 3015 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 3015" 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.
