Strip: coloring wood filler? *Pic*

I think I'm going to use some wood filler to fill in some gaps on my stripper prior to sanding/epoxy. I suppose there are many ways to try and color match the wood. My wood is a medium shade western red cedar. Any tips on which couple of colors to start with for mixing? Maybe start with some brown, red and white? I think the filler I have is white to begin with, so maybe a brown and red will get me a shade that works? Maybe I should grab some black too?

yeah, I know... it ain't a kayak.

cheers
Doug
