Finding a paint colour- Valentino Rossi/Yamaha "yellow"

[canukgirl77]

My husband wants to get his rims powdercoated- on his blue R1- in the Rossi/Yamaha race team 'yellow' colour- as seen on Rossi's bike and helmet below.

Thing is we have no 'sample' of the colour to show the shop... I'm wondering, since this colour was used on the Yamaha team's bike, i.e. Rossi, Crevier's etc, if there is a paint code for it? Does anyone have any clue at all? Its not just yellow, its a yellow with a kinda green undertone, we want to make sure we get the right colour, but how with no sample?

Any ideas?

Helped. Looks like "hi viz/safety yellow" to me.

I'm going with chartreuse

Yeah, its definitely not high viz yellow, it definitely has some green mixed in.

I had no idea what the hell "chartreuse" even WAS. Mike- is that a paint code to supply to the powdercoating guy?

High vis yellow tends to be almost a neon green colour as far as I've seen...
