What's the color of the knobs?

Hi,
I have bought myself a 3D printer and started to make my own knobs.
Based on the specs from this website.

Drawings are made with Fusion360.

Can someone point me to the right direction in which color they are?
Is it ivory, beige, or light grey ?

Local paint shops can computer match samples at a cost, as can local car accessory shops (they provide custom aerosol spray colours)...

Yes, I know, ii used it to match te color of the open cockpit panels, although I tried 2 shops, and it is close, but no sigar.

But  I do not  have a knob to scan, and  The boeing color  B 8925  is no RAL color,
Made a 3d print of a knob as master and added a pigment to the resin , so it does not have to be painted, a bit beige, but still not to my liking .
The search goes on then
Thanks for the help
