Values are derived from the approximate hex above. CMYK is a simple conversion, not a print recipe: printers convert through their own profiles. Luminance is a screen figure, not a measured light reflectance value (LRV) from a paint data sheet.
How RAL 3026 reads
Luminous bright red is the lighter fluorescent partner to RAL 3024 luminous red. The pure screen red shown here cannot reproduce the glow the real paint gives in daylight, so treat the swatch as a placeholder.
Where it turns up
It is used for visibility marking, temporary signs and safety details. A screen cannot show fluorescence, so check a physical sample, use a white base and expect fading outdoors.
Ordering RAL 3026 in paint or powder
Quote the number, not just the name: say "RAL Classic 3026" 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.
