"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

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 neededWhy 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.

Wow, that really is the color :) cool someone knows all this stuff.
I dont really like this blue v4 color so I went with a black fork, it will be finished this week. In future I would like to repaint all to some other color so it's temporary anyway.
You have a great bike, how are the strada bianca for puncture protection in city?Here is mine this summer, fork is a little crooked after a crash with some mtb guy.
