Default Paint colour code

2007 XL1200R
The Dealer tells me that the paint is "Red Pearl"

HD paint codes are a secret for some reason and my paint supplier while having some codes does not have this one. An online search does not turn up this colour code.

Is it a Sportster specific colour?
I asked in another forum, but by chance does anyone know the PPG code?

I can find a code for Fire Red in 2007 - 909372 but no listings for Red Pearl
There is a Fire Red Pearl in 2006 - 98609

Dealer VIN search says it is Red Pearl?

I tired the service portal and got nowhere - must be me and thanks for the info

The local Dealer searched the VIN yesterday and told me "Red Pearl" which is what threw me.
It now seems that Fire Red Pearl is correct and the PPG code for this in 2007 is 909372

Off to buy the paint from the local PPG Dealer now
