Just with anything, if you have a road map, best to start there. Presently, its at 80% of actual... the last bit will be the hardest. We've already looked at all the RAL colours and nothing is close.
I'd consider browsing the nail polish aisle at your local store. Seriously. You might find some pretty close matches, and then can mix to fine tune it. Take the frame with you so you can really tell.

Problem there is going to be light. Paint looks different under fluorescent than it does in daylight.

Good luck
