I don't know the RAL code. The powder coater (Brooker Enterprises in Portland) called it "lollypop blue" -- probably this one. Of course, you can't have a "lollypop blue" Surly, so I'm calling it "interstate blue." I was going to call it "recycling can blue" but it came out too nice for that.
Here are a couple more pictures that show the color a little better (and also the brake hanger that the guys at Brooker added for me).

WINTER BIKE, built last friday, almost done. half-clips are going on the pedals, cheap fenders, and a 19t cog to replace the 15t are my next moves.

Stillanimal - that GT does look like it'll be a lot of fun.
