Default newb paint fix issue

So I got a used sportster 1200R, and theres a blemish on the tank that bugs me, but seems easy to fix. Looks like on the off-white part of the tank, a repair was done with (brilliant) white paint, about size of a quarter. Surface is smooth and looks like they clear coated over it. I want to fix it to match the off white.. i couldnt find the paint code for that off white. I know this is probably a newb question but any advice or links to tutorials would be super helpful. Or what you would think a local shop could fix it for. Its a 2005 1200R blue with off white (near the HD badge)

I've not had much luck in the paint section of the forum. Its probably best to go by a body shop and ask them.
