What color is RAL Classic Salmon pink?

RAL Classic Salmon pink RAL 3022 is a warm, mid-depth coral-red with a softened pink cast. Its #CF6955 value reads as earthy rather than sugary, carrying noticeable orange-red warmth without becoming bright or neon. In daylight, Salmon pink can feel clearer and more animated, while lower, warmer lighting tends to draw out its terracotta-like side. It suits a painted front door, a dining-room feature wall, or cabinetry where a confident dose of color is wanted. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm beige, muted olive, natural oak, or matte black details for contrast.

LRV of Salmon pink

Salmon pink has an LRV of 25.49% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 25.49%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
