  • PX may be able to help. Their customer service can be spotty, but i've called them in the past and they've been helpful.

  • PX tech support answered that it's not RAL color, supplier has his own code and PX don't have it. They don't have any other color codes fot that matter, thats what FAQ on they website says.
    I will talk today to a guy in LBS/paint shop about identyfiing the color.

    That's bullshit - just plain lazy canned response customer 'service'.

    They have all the paint codes - they are on the invoice from the bloody supplier !

    All Taiwanese frame builders use their industry standard YS paints catalog

    V4 Blue was YS-7321, as opposed to the original V1/V2 Blue which was actually a Pantone colour 292C.....

    But that doesn't get round the fact that neither translate to an exact match under the RAL system.

    Here is mine (must be 8 years old now) after a bit of a spruce up after battering the broken roads of Berlin for 10,000km's in under a year

    XL V2 in white (YS-701 if you were wondering....)
    Run Singlespeed 48-18 or flipped to fixed 48-19
    Challenge Strada Bianca 30mm open tubulars on Gippieme A40's
    FSA Gimondi 172.5 Cranks
    Mostly the original On-One finishing kit, 3ttt 4GX bars / stem, Tektro CR520 cantis with DiaCompe 287v levers.
    SKS Chromoplastic guards with a Topeak Super Tourist DX rack which takes a quick release MTX bag when needed

    Why Planet X did not build on the legacy of the il-Pompino and Kaffenback and update with wider tyre clearance and disc brakes and absolutely own the steel 'do-it-all' market is a total mystery.... probably too busy buying socks i guess.
