Raleigh TI replica of 1980 Tour de France winner

[Andy Thorpe]

Hello to all forum members. I have joined hoping that someone out there can help me to find the correct colour of RED used by Raleigh on this bike. It is a Raleigh TI replica made in 2020 to celebrate 40 years since they won the Tour de France. It has a couple of scratches on the left fork which I would like to touch-up. I have a company that can supply phials of touch up paint, I just need to know the exact colour. Unfortunately Raleigh UK aren't that much help. But maybe someone else knows the match.
Many thanks - Andy

What tubing is it, built in 2020 it isn't likely to be an SBDU frame but have they used 753/853 to build it ?

I owned one a few years ago, I took mine to a body shop and they matched the paint using a swatch, however I can’t quite remember what it was. However I’m sure I did try VW Mars Red which was pretty close.
