RAL 7009 is close and "close" should be what you aim for.
That colour looks different on your screen and mine... the photo has lighting conditions that are altering the colour... the room you're in also contributes to that.
Also... I think this has a non-gloss finish over the colour which will alter the appearance of the colour too.
If you're aiming to emulate it yourself... buy some 7009 in a rattlecan.
If you're going to have it done professionally, ask your refinisher to get 'close'; they'll appreciate the freedom.
The reason I say this is that not all colour products are created equally...
Different brands make different types of paint product which are chemically different for a number of reasons... geography and related legislation; tooling variations; brand recipes etc
Refinishers will have preferred brands and product lines based on their techniques, tooling and sometimes the availability. They will even have favourite colours... not in a childish way of needing to drink from a blue cup but rather in relation to the dynamic properties of the colour and how well it builds, covers and interacts with other colour products.
Whilst adjectives can be really annoying to get across colour nuances, if you show this picture and let your refinisher choose something similar, you'll be enabling them to give you a better quality finish.
