Well it's more likely to be a RAL number.

There is a colour matcher on the Pantone website although I'm not sure how well it works with metallic chips. Also, Buckroo is right, you're much more likely to find a match (that is of use, if it's for a respray etc) in a RAL guide.

its not a respray, I am ordering a frame, and I can specify a pantone colour, so the RAL wont help much, i have the pantone metallic premium pallette, but I cant seem to find that dark delicious tone of misty woods

You won't find it in a Pantone book as its most likely not a Pantone... You might find something close... Pantone is for print. RAL is for paint. They will just match the Pantone by eye...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
