I found the attached helpful which lists colours by model and year

Land Rover had an annoying habit of not stamping the paint code on the vin plate, and also gave the same colour different names.

For example Alpine White and Savarin White are the same - Antartic was the name used on Defenders, Savarin on Range Rovers!

What year reg is yours mate, and is it metallic or non metallic?

Always hard on computer monitors, but some swatch colours attached as well:

Yeh, snap here with the blank vin plate!

Think blues are hard to match - could equally be Derwent Blue depending on what LR had left over before they changed paints!

Derwent possibly looks a better match to your photo, but really hard to tell.

Couple of options to suggest:

1) Some Halfords are able to mix paint (or at least order it) and have colour swatch books - more trustworthy than computer monitors and something you can hold agaisnt your panels

2) Gamble and order a touch up paint stick to check the colour - about £10 - I have used carpaintrepair.co.uk for 3 different vehicles and they've been fast and reliable, but there are loads of others

Tough one - hope you crack it

Thanks Station House, i will go to halfords in the week, with it being an old Land Rover the original colour will have faded over the years, so there match should be to its current colour, then will match well.
 
You're right. Spreading it around with the sleeve of your jumper gives a good finish I find.
