I would think a boat builder or good chandler would be your best bet. Most boat builders can usually let you know which gel colour a boat was made from. Be careful though - getting a colour match is tricky because the original boat will have faded in the sun.

Not just that... but gel coats from different manufacturers are different colours as well, even if they have the same RAL number... also, if you're really lucky, gelcoats from the same manufacturer are different colours too!

Try http://www.llewellyn-ryland.co.uk/home.html - http://www.llewellyn-ryland.co.uk/home.html as I know they do the equivalent of Dulux colour charts.
