This may sound silly, but are you looking for the colour to have other bits painted/coated or for repairs? If so, suggest you read on....

The best way to get an exact colour match (remember gelcoat pigment will still deteriorate in UV light) is to speak to a local specialist. You'll typically find these in the marine environment, but there are other specialists. They'll have colour charts to check against (eg. RAL codes), but the proper companies will use a Minolta reader for better colour match. They will then be able to mix you up a "batch" of gelcoat or paste to match closely. Each pigment manufacturer and GRP producer has slightly different processes, so no two productions are ever the same unless made from the same mixture on the same run.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like any further information or assistance!
