It'll be a standard RAL colour, however fading could prevent you getting a perfect match as standard without mixing up a perfect colour match.

The gelcoats were not produced according to a RAL number. I had the same problem and found a paint shop with a very experienced painter. He was able to match a color to the gelcoat by eye, something that usually goes wrong. His first attempt failed, but the second attempt was spot on. We first tried to use a color scanner, but it seems they don't work with gelcoats.
