Default White Paint for old Fiberglass?

Hey all. I've been setting up a '77 FLH with the original white saddlebags and fairing. I found a black trunk and want to paint it to match. Any suggestions on the right white for the job?

my .02

take a saddlebag lid to a higher end automotive paint shop.

they can scan and digitally match the color plus set you up
with the right primer for fiberglass and all the fixin's.

Or...if you have the color code, order a rattle can of it from
a place like this:
