Just take a colour sample to a paint factor and they will have colour swatches you can match it to, the hex number will mean nothing to them.

Looks very similar to the rustoleum paint I used throughout my build.
LINKY There is a ral
chart on that site somewhere too, no sorry it was on this site Linky
Maybe of help, the rustoleum paint was superb to spray with, haven't been on the road with it yet so don't know how durable its going to
be but doesn't chip off easily and stick like poo to a blanket on ali.
Have a look in my gallery although the rustoleum looks a dodgy colour using my camera so that was probably a stupid suggestion! It may be ok for
you.
Cheers

Rustoleum stuff is great -used theirpaint + adhesion primer on well worn fibreglass jeep body and it came up brilliantly and hasn't chipped or
flaked
