There is a whole archive on the Surly site with old models and paint codes. A bit of Googling should find it.

EDIT: seems to have been turned into an email instead

What is the RAL color code for my frame?
RAL is a color code number system used by paint manufacturers. We can provide this code for most but not all of our colors. You can contact us at Derby@Surlybikes.com. Please provide the model of your Surly, its color, and the frame's serial number to aid us in your quest.

Yes, I saw that thank you, but unfortunately you can only query with a serial number, hence my post :)
It looks like RAL 4005 to me.

"The metallic lilac color from that Steamroller is RAL-4012!"

From the Steamroller FAQ on the Surly website.

Go for it, I was happy with the result https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/c678d9fce375f18439bc4a4aa6121eb1a5cb088c.jpg
The fork is carbon and it can't be powder coated, according to Steve, so there is a slight difference in the shade, but looks cool.

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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.
