Painting Apple hardware - what colour? (derp.foo)

I've recently acquired an Apple Macintosh Color Display. Sadly, it's very yellowed (or rather, oranged). I was thinking about forgoing retrobrighting and just going for painting it. Anybody here who's done that before? Any idea how I can most closely match Apple's "platinum" colour?

Thank you, that is indeed helpful.

I've found a local supplier that can mix Sikkens ON.00.78 for me, which looks to be close to that colour. I've been lightbrighting the plastic for a few days to see how that works out and consider my options.

I'll keep you posted.
