You will have a hard time matching a pearlescent color by yourself. I would suggest finding a good body shop, ask them if they can match the color.
Also, be very careful what color base coat you use. White paints are very sensitive to the primer color that is under the paint. If your car was painted with a gray base, and the fender has a black base. The finished color will be noticeably different.
You should also take sun fading into effect. It is minimal on a white car, but its still happens.
