Which RAL color matches the Cherry Corp Red Escape keycap the closest?

I'll be adding some color to my Quickfire Rapid. I'm planning to use the red Cherry Escape cap and have a red stripe on the case and it should match the color of the keycap.

Unfortunately, it's still some time until the cap arrives. In the meanwhile I'm trying to get some red spray paint, but I got the impression from photographs that the red of the cap is slightly brighter than the normal RAL 3000 red.

Can someone with a RAL color fan and the Cherry Escape check which color matches the cap the closest? :P

Do GMK have a color reference?

Update:

I've received the Escape key and was able to compare it using a RAL color fan:
RAL 2002

While there were no colors that matched GMK's V1 red accurately, I think RAL 2002 was the closest.
