I was going to say, its close but the curtis in the pic below looks slightly darker, the top one looks more lemony.  Only slightly but just about noticable.  The curtis looks more like the old BT yellow.

I'm in two minds if I'm honest - First time I looked it was spot on!

Th more I look the Curtis is a tad more 'musturdy'

i've gone through the ral yellows and nothing is nearer than ral 1023,

a pic of a colour can look so differant than it really is, it's hard but i still

think the two are the same  :-\ ;D     or roughly the same :)

another test for everyone on the colour,  look at the handle bars in my pic then look below

under the rear brake of nicks pic, the light is showing them both looking the same shade/colour,

Not far out to be fair, considering the lighting in both pics is different, i'd say prettymuch spot on :daumenhoch:

sometimes when you are trying to see a differance, you think you can, especially with differant angles,if its 98-99% right, then no one can get it any nearer without tinting the shade, sometimes its down to who mixed the paint and what paint manufacturer....

Th more I look the Curtis is a tad more 'musturdy'

The BMX Freestyle magazine test refers to it as mustard, although no code shown in the spec. 

The test said that the paint was expoxy (don't know what that means :crazy2:) rather than powder and seemed to chip easily, if you're into originality.

Your correct Paul !

The trouble is - how far do you go in 'originality' - as you know Im Curtis fanatic and want to get this right, even if the colour is a shade out, but I guess close is close enough eh !
