I hope the above information is of some help to someone? I also have pictures of the touch up paint lids showing their colour and their individual colour code.

All the best

This lot just sold on Ebay for £27. No, I didn't buy them as the only colour I want isn't there!

 

[Mr Weirdo]

I did thank you 3w7 and I asked the seller if he could supply me close up photos of the lids so that I could see the codes, etc. That's where my info comes from There is also someone else who has begun compiling a list of the codes on one of the forums. It appears sometimes the name of the colour or even maybe the colour itself was changed even though the code number did not. I'm looking for Polar Blue lol. Thanks again

The colour I'm looking for is similar to the Aqua Blue RTU 036 (it might even be that very colour) to match my special build1973 RRA, I don't know if it's colour was a production colour in the 70s

Hi 3w7

Hopefully one day someone may be able to compare the RTU Codes to a RAL equivalent or to one as close as reasonably possible and make a list?

All the best on your search...

Lovely 1970's RRA, I don't think I have seen one from that decade before?

It's a one-off built for a Raleigh designer, 1950s lugset, decals and fork style but with 1970s kit.
