About RAL 3014
RAL pinks are a small family within the Classic library - soft, warm tones rather than the vivid industrial pinks found in print standards like Pantone. They are used more in architectural and decorative contexts than in safety applications.
RAL codes are administered by RAL gGmbH, a German quality-assurance institute. The RAL Classic library - 213 codes across nine hue families - is the standard for paint, powder-coat, and plastic finishes across Europe, and is used internationally wherever industrial color specification is required. Like every RAL code, RAL 3014 is defined by a physical paint swatch rather than a digital value; the HEX approximation #D36E70 is the most commonly-published reference, but physical paint chips are the only authoritative source.
Closest Pantone match

Where RAL 3014 is used
RAL 3014 is typically specified in decorative architectural finishes, specialty industrial coatings, and interior fitting accents. Its pink tone makes it appropriate wherever a refined, specialty, or decorative palette is wanted. Before specifying RAL 3014 for a production run, verify the color against a physical RAL swatch under the actual lighting conditions and finish (matte, semi-gloss, gloss) that will be used - the same code looks meaningfully different across substrates.
