Long ago, I used Krylon spray interior/exterior "Almond" and it was close. If you are painting the whole thing then close might be good enough. If you are looking for an exact match or to blend factory paint with a rattle can then that is probably not realistic.

Compared to the white of a good snow fall, cygnus white is not very white at all. BTW, what the heck is a cygnus anyway? I once looked it up in a dictionary and found nothing.

Cygnus is the species name of a male swan, I think.
