What colour is the new 36" Nimbus?

And the first person to answer "Blue" doesn't win any prizes at all!

No, what I'm looking for is the exact colour code. I'm guessing it's a
standard RAL colour, or possibly BS, or even pantone etc.

I've just won a set of Maguars on eBay* that look like they're in need
of a lick of paint. So, getting the right colour will not only help
them look better, but will leave me with something to repair any
scratches to the frame/T7 just in case I drop it in a big way

I don't know the "exact" color, but I do know sometimes 'complimentary
colors' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_color) are a cooler
looking option than trying to match everything in one color. On my
son's Nimbus 36", we offset the blue by using yellow for both his water
bottle holder-frame, and for the zip ties that hold his cyclometer
cable. It is a very sharp combination.

I'd agree that accessories can look better in a complementary colour...
but touching up a scratch would just highlight it a bit too much!

There's going to be a few bits added to the T7 handle anyway, so it
won't hurt for one or two bits to be camoflarged.

Oh, and Cathwood, have you got the RAL number for your lilac Nimbus?
I'm sure that's close enough to the colour of mine

I think Pantone applies only to inks/printing. I don't know about BS or
RAL. To match a paint color you probably need the brand and that
company's name or reference number for the paint in question. Maybe
Roger Davies can help you out, as he may have been the one to spec
those unicycles.
