A bit late to this conversation, but have you looked at Humbrol enamels? I've used them to hide repairs in the past, and while not perfect it's been good enough. Other brands are available, also acrylics - my bias comes from having a local model shop with a proprietor who would spend ages matching colours to anything you put on the counter.

Two or three tins, a suitably fine brush and a bit of artiness might do it? They'll mix and blend with each other, and can be overpainted to get a closer match.

Yes it's the two-part stuff.
Downstairs I used some of the Amber Polyx tints and that did stain the filler a little, but the clear satin hasn't done much at all. I think the problem is that the filler goes on a good pale brown colour then turns white when you sand it.
I saw that Osmo do their own pre-mixed wood filler in a range of colours, but it seemed to be about £6 for a 200g pot.
