Bone seems more of a shade range. One guy's bone is another guy's off-white (there's a bad joke in there).

I asked this question in the past and someone here recommended the Krylon shade of ivory. It was also recommended to go with the satin sheen instead of gloss. Krylon makes an ivory primer as well, but I found use of that under the ivory paint was a little too dark a shade for my liking; I just spray the ivory paint over white primer.

Goo Goo Man has used a rattle can brand as well (I can't remember the product) and it was a good hue. If he sees this he may chime in.

You can mix your own Createx bone by starting with white and slowly adding small amounts of brown/tan and yellow. Hold it up against something pure white and keep tweaking until you're satisfied.

I find the rattle can answer easiest.
