For the GT550L I think it was likely Suzuki colour code 706, and called Purple Blue Metallic. Regrettably that won't help you too much as there are no publicly available cross references to currently available paints from the Suzuki codes that I know of, and colour match options have been worsened by the move to water based finishes in most countries.

There may be at least one outfit in the UK that might be able to assist - check the ads in any recent copy of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics - but importing paint is difficult these days and the cost, and the risks of shipping things back and forth to have someone outside your country do the paint, I think would make this unattractive. Your best bet if you have something still painted in the original colour, would be to locate a professional paint supply place in your area and have them attempt a match.
