Ive found white to be a bear to match. So many bikes with white are pearl white or eggshell white or baby powder or linen or ivory or linen or cream.

The inside of rear dropouts are my favorite place to test paint as its a typical for paint to not be there due to adding/removing wheels. And if it doesnt match, itll be covered by the wheels.
