I think I've narrowed it down to:
County Red
Portofino Red
Rimini Red (maybe)
rutland Red (think only used on 300tdi onwards?)
Venetion Red

On second look you could be right. Anyone know if there's a better way of finding this out?

Was Roja 601 around before 95?
It’s a 1991 90 and I’ve never seen one or a classic in that colour.

No paint code anywhere on the vehicle?
Not had a respray?
I've had some success with other makes by ringing the franchised dealer's parts dept, have the reg & VIN to hand.
Rioja Red (aka Nightfire 2, it's a Rover/LandRover thing) is a possible. Codes 601 & CAQ.
Portofino, Rimini (for your date), Rutland and Venetian aren't metallic so you can rule them out.
Don't know if this is any help: https://www.defender-landrover.co.uk/p/paint-codes.html

I did see the list of paint codes but thanks - good shout on ringing the dealer.
Could have been resprayed but I've never noticed any evidence of that and I've basically stripped everything over the years and not noticed different colour

If it one o them I’d say portofino but that’s a guess.
Can you not get little cheap tester pots?

OP's car is a metallic paint. Portofino isn't metallic. (The word 'solid' in a vehicle paint description means not metallic/pearlescent etc)
If all else fails find a motor factor near to you & compare their colour swatches to the car. Might be a while before they're open again!
I expect there will be a perfectly good area on the riveted on id plate where the paint code should be stamped but LR for a number of years didn't bother putting the code on.
