Hopefully, basic white without tints.

Gels and Imron may discolor with age and environment. I had an Imron
painted Open Cirrus and tried very hard to match and sought 7 different
opinions before ordering, using the factory color charts. Under overcast
and blue sky and fluorescent lighting there was some divergence between a
light gray tint and a light blue tint. I went with the predominently female
opinions, since color vision deficiency is more generally a male trait.

It was a bit blue once applied, the gray may have worked better. However, I
had to order a minimum amount and when the person I sold my final share to
damaged the glider, the fuselage was re-sprayed with the remainder, so it
finally matched.

What, if anything, do you do about matching the shade of the existing
surface?
