More info / orderingDescription RAL 3009 Oxide red

RAL 3009, also known as 'Oxide red', is a deep, earthy red that carries a distinctly natural and somewhat industrial character. It resembles the tone of iron oxides and weathered metals, giving it a grounded, robust appearance. The color leans toward a brownish red rather than a vivid or bright shade, which gives it a sense of stability and durability. Because of its subdued warmth, it evokes associations with clay, brick, and mineral pigments that have been used in traditional construction for centuries.
This hue is appreciated for its timeless, utilitarian aesthetic. It has a matte, almost velvety quality that makes it suitable for surfaces meant to blend harmoniously with their surroundings rather than stand out sharply. In architecture and design, RAL 3009 is chosen for roofs, facades, and metal components where a natural yet strong color is desired. Its slightly rustic undertone helps it pair well with natural materials like wood, stone, and untreated metals, reinforcing a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship.
RAL 3009 conveys a feeling of reliability, tradition, and understated elegance. It's a color that manages to feel both historical and modern, making it a versatile choice for projects that seek a warm but restrained red with depth and substance.
