Pate Tank Replacement

It's a good match for the Montauk. I got current pricing & shipping. The dillemma is with color. They offer white, desert tan and theyn offered me a custom color, bone which he described as being in between white and desert tan. The problem is without any brochures or web site I don't know what to do. My 82 has it's original desert tan gel coat thats a bit faded. Has anyone purchased a new Pate that could offer some advice? Thanks, Steve
