Filon Color Question

I've got an older 2013 Jayco 35.5 RETs, and I'm looking to patch a large section of Filon. I understand that colors fade/ change in the UV light, but I'm trying to get close. The color is not really Artic white by far. and its not really that tan, color that you see on alot of trailers. Does anyone know if there is a closer Color of Filon that I can purchase to be close.
Thanks.

From what I've read, Filon siding only comes in 3 colors; Artic White, Tan and Gray.

RecPro offers samples for $7.95 with free shipping. Might be worth the 8 beans to see how it looks.

I think there was.. a bunch and they may have standarized in the last few years to be more cost effective.

I actually have the Artic white sample from REcPro, and its not even close.. I've also pulled a Storage door to see if the ring that wasn't exposed to UV was close to the sample, It's not. This trailer was never that bright of white.
