I put some thoughts into this and I think I'll go for RAL 5004 Black Blue for frame and forks and RAL 9001 Cream for the headtube and decals if possible.
I spoke to Mario Vaz on the phone and he said he got some Raleigh Royal decals available but I don't really dig the original ones. I also feel like it's not really a Raleigh Royal anymore with the changes I've made. So I am thinking of giving it a madeup model name.
With the wider 650b wheels I see this more as tow or forrest path randonneur. One name I've been toying around with is Raleigh Hinterland [1][2][3]. It's a German word that has been introduced into some languages like English, French and Spannish (?) and means something like back country or rural (coast) area away from the city.
Mario said custom cut vinyl decals are also possible so I played around a bit with different fonts.
