As MonteSS said - Light touches of silver pearl; and maybe a little white pearl powder depending on how silver vs white you want to go.  Always look the bait over in both sun and shade while testing the color strength.

Don't forget the heat stabilizer. If not the first heating will look great and then it will turn on you.

What everyone else said, or if you want it a little more flashy, you could always use Lure Craft's silver minnow coloring.

i like the silver smoke myself.. also the LC silver minnow(gives a look of heavily glittered bait)..

a couple of drops of black in your pearl white looks nice

I accidently over-heated some purple scrap I was about to use for making a purple pearl color.  It turned plum/blue/black.  Thinking "what can I do with this?" I remembered the cold steel color from CCM JR http://www.caneycreekmolds.net/index.php?topic=1903.0 and thought "why not?".  So I added 1/4 tsp pearl powder to it and ended up with a nice solid silver color w/ just a hint of plum-purple undertones.  We'll see how fish like it in a few months.
