I imagine that if you’re having the frameset professionally painted they
could match that color pretty closely. If going that route, have a few
sample images available to review with them so that both you and the

and then
Matching the cream to the decals makes a lot of sense.
Thank you

appeared to be completely white. In other words, mix it 'til you like it.

I've attempted to mix touch up colors for most of my bikes over the years,
with varying-but-almost-always-less-than-perfect results. The only one I
ever got perfect was creme for filling in lug windows to match Rivendell
headtubes. It ended up being nothing more than white with a few drops of
