Which Colour Wax or Retouch Cream to Use?

Morning All,

I'd like to tidy up this corner (on Lion moulding L2127 - Lichen, a green/grey colour) but find that the range of retouch creams are quite limited outside black, white and gold.

I do have an array of wax crayons for touching up, but these are generally not so pleasant to use, I find.

What would you use for something like this?

Thanks

Quick reply -

Mix this Teal colour with some white filler -

It doesn't look too bad, maybe it does in person.
Do you normally clamp your frames after making them, as that would probably close any gap.
I would just rub a small amount of white wood filler and wipe off.
