I own a Detail shop and have found Dr. ColorChip to be the best in color match and ease of application.

I just went down this road with the same color...I found this color to be a problem...

It's a tri coat and no one seems to make a simple touch up pen, not even the dealer...

I am using Toyota super white, it's close enough for me to fill tiny chips on the front end...noting will be perfect....

Found it on eBay from one of the dealerships that sell parts on there

Tell Lexus to paint a part for you and if they can extra paint on a bottle for you. Thats what my friend did, on the other hand I just gave them my vin and they told the paint pen will take 2 weeks to get here. They said it was much easier to get the white, black and grey since those are the 3 colors that are abundant. My fire agate pearl color was difficult since the color didn't get made alot, or so the service guy stated.

I went to the parts department at my local dealer and they just gave me one. Can't be more than $10 if they try to charge you.

Color was a perfect match and it has clear mixed with it.

Ultra white is a tri coat, they don't have an all in one pen for it...it requires multiple paints...just find a white that is close like I did...I figured a close match was better then a black chip on my front end
