Hull color: Gel coat

I need to repair a few spider cracks on my hull this spring.
Does anyone know the original gel coat brand & color?
I know it won’t be a perfect match and there’s fifty shades of white. Just trying to get as close as possible.

Tinting too can be challenging since the gel coat will change color after drying.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
Nick.

i don't think you can do anything but mix your own. The Gelcoat on my boat actually is slightly different shades in different parts of the boat and not all of it is due to sun. I have improved my color matching skills with each one I have done. And while you might be your own worst critic at first, you will see that the stuff blends in really nice over time. You know to add pin point drops of color at a time. I am guessing there are some good videos color matching on Youtube.
