I would have gone with a bone white. I don't think it needs color. The met sells a reproduction of the pieta head by Michaelangelo that's bone white and it's very elegant. As a painter that deals with color I use color where it's needed and never for it's own sake. I think you don't need it. Just my two cents worth.
