anodizing color match

i will be tig welding 3/8 thick 6061 aluminum plates to form a weldment for a customer. the corner edges will be machine beveled for weld penetration. the outside surfaces will be milled to spec. dimensions and the finished item will be black anodized. is there a filler alloy recommendation that will give the best color match between the parent metal and the weld? thanks for the response.
