Luminous red

This RAL 3024 Colour is presented to you as a part of red hues assortment on the RAL Classic colour chart. You will notice that all of these grouped colours follow this specific designation, which is based on four-digit number in combination with the letters "RAL". This is why red colours are sequentialy coded under 3xxxx, where 3 is a system code number (1: yellow, 2: orange, 3: red, 4: purple, 5: blue, 6: green, 7: grey, 8: brown and 9: white and black shades).

The name Luminous red actually serves as additional, auxiliary designation, making the colour easier to remember. This naming system also provides additonal quality assurance preventing erroneous colour assigment due to number transposition.

On this particular hue range, in addition to 'luminous red', you will find hand-picked colour tones selected by RAL institute design experts. This red colour assortment holds another 33 excellent tones (making a total of 34 unique colour samples). You can click here for a list of red hues, or open a full chart of 215 RAL Classic colours.

◾ RAL 3024 to RGB

The conversion of RAL 3024 into RGB colour space requres specific composition of red, green, and blue primary colours. To construct hue matching "luminous red" colour from the RAL chart as close as possible, we use the following values ranging from 0 to 255 on the RGB colour system: 255 red, 45 green and 33 blue.
The three circle RGB diagram here provides illustrative example showing how red value stands out clearly in comparison to green and blue to construct this bright tone of colour. The RAL colour equivalent emerges in the very center, where all three primary colour circles overlap and combine.
