RAL colours ( color ) of Festool products ?

After plenty of trying, I ordered the correct Formica colors because the codes cross.  Paint however was much less obvious.  I took about 30 swatches from HD guessing what 15+ would be close to the green and the dark blue.  Got home.... WAY OFF! So I brought a piece of my domino and a systainer latch and this little girl matched them so well, I felt bad for doubting her.  I’ll post pictures later of the match in use.

Anyone know the RAL color code for the Limited Edition Blue Systainers? Is it the same as the dark blue mentioned above (RAL 5004)? It seems to be lighter than that one.

There's no "seems" about it, they're definitely a different color than the tool bodies.  You can see the difference in some of the unboxing videos of the Emerald Edition tools that came in the blue systainer.

I wonder if [member=68900]Systainer.Store[/member] might know?
 
Here's a shot of the "Limited Edition Blue Systainer" on the left and the PRO 5 systainer on the right. According to 2016 Festool literature, "To distinguish the PRO 5 LTD from all other Festool tools, it will be delivered in a unique blue Systainer."

That "unique blue" turned out to be black instead.

The "Limited Edition Blue Systainer" is the same as Tanos color sapphire blue, RAL 5003.

I need to match the Red and Blue of the American flag. A google search turned up this

Question:
What are the exact shades of the colors blue and red?
Answer:
The exact shades of blue and red are numbers 80075 and 80180 in the Standard Color Card of America published by the Color Association of the United States. In the Pantone system the colors are: Blue PMS 282 and Red PMS 193. The RGB numbers are: #002868 (blue) and #BF0A30 (red).

However I have no idea what system SW or HD uses.  Anyone know if this is enough info for them to get me an accurate color match ? Or should I be looking for some other color coding system?
