Touchup Paint for 88-97 Concourse body

(I posted this in the Facebook group, but I know many here do not belong, so...)
If you have a E-350 chassis with a Ford color code of YY or 9M (check your door plate), you've probably already found out that... for touching up things like your external fridge access panel, or outside kitchen vent cover, or repaired fiberglass roof... finding a matching paint for the fiberglass body is difficult.
The best match, of course, is to buy an expensive spray can of YY paint.
The only other choice has been easy to find cans of white or beige, neither of which come even close to matching Ford's off-white color of those years.
Then, last night at Lowes, I ran across a new Rustoleum color called "Universal Matte French Cream". It sits between a white and a beige, and actually comes pretty darned close to the Ford color. Except it's matte, so for some things you might also want to get their Universal High Gloss Clear.
Anyway, hoping this might help someone with an early 90s Concourse. I wouldn't use it on the cab, but for touching up things mentioned above, it's pretty good. At least it won't smack you in the eye like white or beige does!
