The RAL number is a specific code for any colour.
If you go to a paint shop, then they will be able to mix a RAL colour, and i think most paint mixing machines tell the operator how much of a certain
colour to use, or even mix itself. Even the muppets at Halfords should be able to do it, as i think they have machines nowadays.

My local paint shop has mixed RAL colours for me in an aerosol. An excellent colour match too.
