The escutcheon color that was recommended to me (and I found quite successful) was Plasti-Kote Odds 'n' Ends fast-dry enamel, #139S, brass. I've only found it the one time and don't recall where (I think it may have actually turned up at my small-town hardware store), but the cap now has 'Philco Gold' written across the top.
