About RAL 020 40 40
Red pigments cover less well than neutral ones, and at high saturation that tells most strongly. Two batches with the same code can differ visibly through a difference in film thickness, without anything being wrong with the formulation.
On a project with this shade, record which standard the assessment is made against: the A4 colour samples, not a fan deck sample or an earlier delivery.
