Can't find it on any finishers sites and when I ask they don't know what I'm going on about.
Know anyone that can do it. Just need to revamp the Cxer for next year.

I know the colour but not what it's actually called or if there's a paint code for it.

French Blue is similar though if that helps:

have you tried "belgian blue pantone" in google

it yielded this link for me

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Luxembourg

The Réglement Grand-Ducal of July 27, 1993 defined the ensign's colors as:
- Red: Pantone 032 c
- White:
- Blue: Pantone 299 c
- Yellow: Pantone 116c
that was difficult

*Pantone. *

That was the key. I searched everything relevent and mostly got pictures of Tom Boonen or massive cows but no clue as to the colour.

You creative types with your fancy ways and proper answers....

I just found 301c Pantone, but maybe that is a bit dark? Probably looks lighter in sun light.

Actually - that looks way too dark. Try and match by eye here:

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
