Apple Platinum Color

For restoring broken parts on vintage computers

According to https://twitter.com/MuseumJoe/status/1472583684599558147 and https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/platinum-pla-for-macs-and-apple-s.561/ RAL 7044 (SILK GREY) is a close match (but a tiny bit too warm).

There are also many laquering spays in RAL 7044 available on the market

According to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTn_SRbYuLA

"SILK GREY RAL 7044" "is the nearest color-match to vintage Macs like the Color Classic, but it's not cheap": https://colorfabb.com/silk-grey-ral-7044 (they have Black Friday promotions but still not cheap due to shipping)
Polymaker Matte PLA Filament 1.75mm Muted White Filament is "similar"
