RAL 4001 Red Lilac Paint

Use the standard RAL 4001 Red Lilac when acceptance will be judged against the RAL Classic reference (not a specific part) and minor differences in gloss/texture are acceptable.

• Standard RAL is typically appropriate for cross-material coordination, small chip repairs, and non-critical areas.
• Expect visible differences if compared directly to an existing coated part with a different gloss or texture.

Send a physical sample or provide the exact OEM powder code when any of the following apply:

• Acceptance is against an installed or legacy part rather than the RAL standard.
• High-visibility or contiguous surfaces, or large-area repaints.
• Known OEM powder brand/series/code is specified or implied.
• The existing part is aged/faded or has a distinctive texture (fine texture, orange peel, etc.).

Include with the sample: required gloss level (matt/semi/gloss), texture (smooth/fine texture), substrate and process (powder/liquid), and how acceptance will be judged. This reduces rework and returns.

For a temporary or low-risk fix, standard RAL 4001 touch-up is usually sufficient for small chips, edges, and interior or non-critical zones. It restores protection and visual harmony but may differ slightly from adjacent parts due to age, gloss, and texture.

For a permanent, cosmetic match on visible areas or contiguous panels, use a sample-based or OEM-specific match with the correct gloss and texture, or repaint the full panel/assembly for uniformity. Do not assume liquid-to-powder will look identical even at the same RAL code.

Decision tip: if the repair will be inspected at arm's length under normal lighting, treat it as a permanent match requirement.

Use the exact code from the drawing or PO: RAL 4001 Red Lilac (RAL Classic).

• Confirm the collection: RAL Classic (not RAL Design or RAL Effect). RAL 4001 is a Classic color.
• Do not order by name or by memory; similar numbers (e.g., other RAL 4xxx violets) are different colors.
• Capture finish requirements on the order: gloss level and texture.
• If referencing an existing part, note whether acceptance is against the RAL standard or the actual part; if the latter, send a sample.
• Avoid relying on screen previews; if needed, verify against a physical RAL Classic standard.

Confirm what the acceptance target is and how finish will be judged.

• Acceptance target: RAL Classic 4001 standard card, or match to an existing part/sample? If an existing part, obtain and submit the sample.
• Process details: powder or liquid; any required brand/series/code; curing or application constraints if specified.
• Finish requirements: gloss level and texture. These affect perceived color and acceptance risk.
• Cross-technology risk: liquid vs powder can differ in sheen/texture even at the same RAL code; request approval panels if adjacent surfaces will mix processes.
• Documentation: record the acceptance method (standard vs sample), finish, and process on the PO to avoid disputes.

If any of the above is unknown, treat the job as a sample/OEM match to reduce rework risk.

While we can provide RAL4001 Red Lilac 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.
