RAL 3002
Carmine Red
RAL 3002 Carmine Red is a deep, rich crimson with blue undertones that give it a sophisticated, luxurious character. Named after the carmine pigment derived from cochineal insects, this color has a long history in art and design. Carmine Red is specified for premium automotive finishes, luxury branding, and high-end architectural features where a refined, prestigious red is needed. It pairs beautifully with gold, cream, and dark charcoal tones.
