Default What color white

I have a 2002 corvette coupe that I purchased last year. I recently ordered a ZR1 spoiler from Corvette Mods. There were 2 choices of white to choose from (Arctic White and Speedway White). A rep @ Corvette Mods sent me a color sample of Speedway White and it looked very close to the color of my car. I just received the spoiler and it is very white in comparison to my car that is more of a off white. Does anyone know if there were other colors of white on Corvettes back in 2002. I would like the spoiler to match before installing. Thank you
