Easy enough to get a colour match done at a paint store. The only issue with some whites is that the match may require buying up to 4 litres - this is due to the need to apportion the tints in the right ratios. Usually though you can get away with buying a one litre. The automated matching systems can usually get pretty close, but if you can find an old hand who matches by eye you can get close to 100%. Be aware though that even the best match may look different under different lights - a phenomenon known as metamerism.

Best if you repaint the whole mount rather than patch touch up....
