Honda colour code is NH-24.
The shop that has the Honda COlour charts should be able to help you and find the matching RAL code.
The next solution is to get these guys measure the color depth by using an original painted part.

If I remember correctly, the closest match to the original Honda colour is RAL 9003.
It's always worth restoring such a beautiful bike, especially one with such low mileage and if it has the original flower seat.

I did indeed but the guys who powder coated my bike did a colour match rather than take the paint code. Reason for this is the powder is different to paint and doesn't actually come in official Honda colours...

Looking at the all the photos and comparing it to others and the original I think they did a pretty good job.

Sur ethey will be able to help you out!
First they will sandblast the frame, and retouch it afterwards.
It won't be visible once finished, the frame will look just as good as new.
