Default Lexus Rear Emblem Removal - holes + wrap

Looking at taking off the Lexus emblem on the left side of the trunk. and I know from trying in the past that there's a few holes that it sits in. I've seen a few people here use 3M wrap to cover up the holes. Does anybody got an idea what 3M wrap would most closely match tungsten pearl so I could cover up those holes with a small dot of the wrap? I'd like to say sterling silver possibly.

On a Camry I did an experiment and bought 2 part epoxy, the no run paste kind and mixed it, dropping in the cars paint color. I made small piles and large ones to see if it cured like normal and didn't crack. After seeing it cured and was hard I mixed more filled the holes flush. Smoothed them flat and when dry used more color on them and at a glance, no one would pick it apart. Certainly no worse than a rock chip touch up.

It stayed in for the life of the car some 6 plus years. Later used the same concept adding red and black to epoxy on other projects not needing strength but a colored filler.

That said if you could buy the color of wrap in scrap form (free?) that would be easier.
