Blockade Runner base color

[Xinau]

Curious if the great RPF hive-mind has come to any consensus on the base color used for the 6-foot BR filming miniature. In my references, it looks similar to the MF base, but slightly more blue-gray and whitish, perhaps (?). Very hard to tell. For practical purposes, good 'ol Tamiya AS-20 Insignia White looks like it would do, but I'm curious if this has ever been established the same way it has been for other miniatures in the shoot.

Floquil, which isn't made anymore.
There is a company (can't remember the name off hand) that now sells "replica" paints used on the OT models.

It was primed and painted with New Finish Auto Acrylic Lacquer, long out of production. The Pirate Ship base coat was a gloss bright white.
