    So got to the yard and couldn't see it.
    Went to ask to be told that the quarry has gone bust local to us. But if you are north of Manchester you may still be able to get it.
    Garden centres like a fancy name and it's always something gold. They may have some stock left. Take a little plastic bag of it with you and ask cause it looks different in the thick bags.
    Otherwise the replacement of the stuff is grim and dull.

    As also said, move what you have around. Base layer of the dull stuff with top layer of what you have.
    Or make the sections contrasting.

    The b&Q Solent Gold are tiny 10mm stones so no good.
    Solent Gold is also available in 20mm
    Thanks that’s the contract to a neighbour who has a golden peddle type I was thinking my ones are more off an off white than golden?

    I was looking for some gravel and took a load of pictures. Yours looks closest to limestone as per the photo below.

    is it possible to rake out some of what you've currently got and mix it in with the new stuff, then spread it over a wider area to blend? Rather than take the whole lot up IYSWIM? 
    @ArbitraryRandom, I agree with your suggestion. I do that all the time, get the closest shades and then mix with the current / old pebbles and wala! I learned to take photo of the bag before spreading it around and put the bag in the bin ... just for future reference in digital file.
