I think most good auto paint shops can color match, I think the red is a decal so not sure there is paint code, but I'm probably wrong

I know this info is almost useless, but fwiw my wife has a Strong frame that was painted by Spectrum Powderworks in 2010 and it perfectly matches that DT Swiss hub color.

I think Spectrum called that color "red" but I could be mistaken.

Not useless at all.
Thanks much appreciated

paint pigments and dyes for ink are different. You can usually find something really close. But they will never be 100% perfect.

Something to check out is ralcolor.net it would be the best site for Euro product colors. We use it for ours so does most of the Euro companies. You should be able to find a suitable color there.

as others mentioned, that is a sticker for the 240 hub, but looks very similar to the ritchey swiss cross red, i think - and in keeping with the "swiss" theme. you can probably find the paint code for that bike i would guess...

OK...you asked for it:

Flag of Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colours
The shade of red used in the flag is not defined by law. Swiss government bodies have used various shades throughout history.

In 2007, the Federal Chancellery published a corporate design guide for the federal administration. That guide prescribed Pantone's CMYK value of PMS 485 (both magenta and yellow at 100 percent) for use in print, and a hexadecimal RGB colour value of #FF0000 (red at 100 percent, no green or blue) for online use. However, the red colour used in the heraldry corresponds to Pantone Red 032 C, which is transposed into RGB as the hexadecimal value #F00000.

But, OP, why not just email DT Swiss? Decal or not, they have to have a color code, preferably Pantone or RAL.

The most recent iteration of the DT Swiss logo that was provided to me for a print / design application had PMS 485 or in CMYK = Magenta 100% & Yellow 90.98%
