74F and Halfords will make you a spray can up on the fly for about a tenner I think they call it new rally blue. 74F is the colour code though.

Careful on 74F, there about 5 shades known to exist.

PC555 your paint code will be on your chassis plate - probably NOT 74F

Must agree I have parked my RA next to a 22b and a P1 and neither look like my shade of 74F. I did get some paint from halfords (hence knowing about them making it up) to do my orange wedges and the match was pretty good. Not try it on actual bodywork though. I dont know what else you could do as a colour code is a colour code and unlikely to have a shade as well.

There's definitely more than 1 shade of 74F, which seems to defeat the purpose of having the code in the first place.

Had a Chips Away guy out to deal with a scratch on my Terzo's bumper. He carried a massive book of paint chips for matching, and there were 2 different chips coded as 74F - the standard one (which matched ours) and an alternate, which was paler. That looked more like the P1 colour.

I guess the advice is spray up a piece of scrap first to make sure you've got a match.
