Olympic White Bass Club!!!

After this build, I'm a new fan of Olympic White.

I'm always amazed the timing of threads. About an hour ago I decided instead of an elaborate modification of a Rondo Hadean bass uke into an Olympic White Jaguar style, I would just have it painted, add a tortoise pickguard & truss rod cover, and change the tuners, strap buttons and knobs to chrome, plus La Bella/Gold Tone special short flatwound strings.

I'm planning on changing the pickup on my 2008 AmStd precision and want to get a cream/white pickup cover while I'm at it.
Looking on ebay etc the colors range from white to beige to yellow and it's very hard to decide what will come closest(my bass is posted on page 12)

Any of you Olympic White fanatics got any recommendations?
