RAL3009 Oxide Red is a dark, high-chroma red with a low LRV of 5.58 and a lightness value of 28.33, indicating substantial depth and low reflectance. Its hue angle of 33.98, along with positive a (24.9) and b (16.78) values, marks it as a warm red that leans toward brown rather than being strictly neutral. With a moderately high chroma of 30.03, this color remains strong and saturated. Gloss level affects the color's appearance: higher gloss finishes can intensify its depth and vividness, while matte finishes tend to mute the saturation.
RAL3009 Oxide Red is chosen for applications demanding a highly visible, traditional red-brown that withstands industrial backdrops and exterior exposure. Its depth and chroma minimize the visibility of dirt, though the color can appear heavier in low light. Gloss can impact perceived color match; always compare to a standard or control sample in expected conditions. This color's warmth and robust presence make it suited to utilitarian rather than subtle applications.

Insights
- LRV of 5.58 and L 28.33 confirm the color's low reflectance and substantial darkness, making it more recessive in large areas.
- a (24.9) and b (16.8) values, combined with a 33.98 degrees hue angle, show a distinctly warm red with brown influence, not a pure or pinkish red.
- Moderate-high chroma (30.03) means the color will retain vividness even when used on textured or utilitarian surfaces.
Digital values are approximations.
Paint appearance varies by finish and lighting.
Similar colors:
- RAL 3011 Brown Red Paint Brown Red: slightly lighter, less brown, with a more classic brick red appearance.
- RAL 8012 Red Brown Paint Red Brown: darker and earthier, with more pronounced brown tones and less chroma.
- Tiger Drylac™ 049/31900 RAL 3005 Wine Red: deeper and cooler, showing more of a burgundy character compared to RAL3009's earthy warmth.

About RAL
RAL is a European Color Standard often used for powder coating products and equipment. MyPerfectColor helps manufacturers; fabricators; refurbishers; equipment supply, rental and maintenance organizations save money and improve quality through exact match color solutions. Some common requests we receive for RAL Colors include spray paint, pens and bottles used for touch up and OEM applications.
Representation of the RAL Colours is done with the approval of RAL gGmbH, 53111 Bonn, Germany.
Please note that the representation of colours on the website can only approximate the actual RAL colour shades as they are registered as varnish samples.

RAL colors may vary from RAL Color Standards based on lighting conditions, angle of view and/or due to differences in pigments, manufacturing process, substrate and/or limitations in the color capability of the paint.
Frequently Asked Questions About RAL 3009 Oxide Red Paint
When should I send a sample instead of ordering by RAL 3009 Oxide Red?
Send a physical sample or OEM reference when acceptance will be judged against an existing coating, not just the RAL standard swatch.
Choose a sample-based or OEM/powder-code match for:
- High-visibility cosmetic surfaces or large-area repaints
- Strict inspection or side-by-side comparisons to installed parts
- Known powder manufacturer or OEM codes (e.g., RAL 3009 with specific gloss/texture)
- Requirements to match sheen and/or texture, not just color
What to provide:
- A physical part/panel with a flat area >= 2 in × 2 in, or the exact OEM/powder code
- Target gloss (e.g., 60 degrees gloss value) and texture callout (smooth, fine texture, etc.)
- Substrate, application method, and any acceptance conditions (lighting, viewing distance)
When ordering to the standard RAL 3009 Oxide Red is typically sufficient:
- Cross-material coordination where textures/sheens already differ
- Small, low-criticality touch-ups for protection
Note: A RAL code defines a color target, not the coating process. If acceptance is against an existing coated part, ordering by code alone may fail inspection due to sheen/texture differences.
Will a liquid paint in RAL 3009 Oxide Red look the same as my RAL 3009 powder coat?
Not necessarily. The RAL code specifies the color target, but powder and liquid coatings can differ in texture (orange peel) and gloss, which changes the perceived color.
- Textured or higher-gloss powder can appear lighter or more diffuse; smooth liquid can read deeper or darker at certain angles.
- Even with accurate colorants, mismatched sheen/texture may be rejected under inspection.
To minimize risk:
- Specify the target gloss and texture along with RAL 3009 (e.g., matte smooth, fine texture satin).
- If you know the original powder's manufacturer/code, provide it or send a part sample for a custom match.
- Approve a test panel under your inspection lighting before full production when appearance is critical.
What coverage should I plan for with RAL 3009 Oxide Red, and how do I avoid patchiness?
Coverage depends on product type, film build, substrate porosity, and color contrast. Dark oxide reds generally hide well, but high-contrast or rough substrates can require more material to achieve uniform color and gloss.
- Define the system: substrate, primer, target DFT, and application method. Judge acceptance by hiding and gloss uniformity at the specified DFT, not by a fixed number of coats.
- Use an appropriate primer color (red-oxide/tinted or mid-tone gray) to reduce coats and minimize shade shift.
- Perform a small test panel to confirm hiding and appearance under your inspection lighting before full-area work.
- Use aerosols for chips and small areas only; on larger panels, expect visible blend differences from sheen/texture even when the color is correct.

How do I convert RAL3009 Oxide Red to a different color from another paint company?
While we can provide RAL3009 Oxide Red in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.
However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.
Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
