Raleigh colour code for Gran Sport Caramel?

[The History Man]

I’m trying to find a colour reference for ordering touch up paint for my caramel 82 gran sport. Can any Raleigh experts help out? Thanks. Thm

Is it worth posting the question on the forum as plenty of real Raleigh experts out,i work with 2k paints,the software in some scanners gives a paint code only to certain paint systems {RAL},whilst some match exactly and spit out a unique formula,due to era of Gran Sport it would either be a unique Raleigh colour or a car shade {Ford champagne Supernova etc}or a B.S, British companies held out against RAL for a v long time, also some mettalics dry matt and need to be laquered over

I shall do that now. Good idea.

Can't recall where I got them from or if they are a good match but I have these written down for the Gran Sport on an old note...

RAL1024
Pantone 117

Raleigh used their own colour codes. CF 001 was black, CF 012 was space blue , all beginning with CF. They were internal codes and didn't relate to any other colour system. Best match is all can be achieved.

Thanks 1023 looks more like it?

Edit. Really hard to say on screen.

Re:

Won’t a paint matched to the original colour be a mismatch to it now? I’d imagine it’s faded somewhat. When I got an old car repaired the body shop said they didn’t care what colour it was, they’d analyse what it is now and account for the fading.
