Although this is not correct, some people opt to go this route. It is suggested that the closest correct color should be either:
Traffic White (RAL 9016)
or
Signal White (RAL 9003)
I have not seen these colors, but I have heard they are a very close match
**update - i have been informed that Signal white seemed to be "too bright" **

Also try HB Fuller "Chameleon"
