With that said, is their a Grady White off white colored caulk available? Curious
Not needed - the sealant won't be visible. Use it sparingly - don't need much. A little on any screw threads of screws that are exposed won't hurt, either. Again... sparingly. Truthfully, given it's location and design you don't even really need it all - but it can only help to use it.

Ok, the factory caulk is visible and of course Grady off white. Clearly used under the frame and then excess pressed out when attached cleaned up with a finger or caulk tool.

Yup - too much used. Lay a very small bead - put the sealant in a ziploc bag and cut the corner off if you want. Let it tack up a bit before install.

GE silicone (for bathroom/kitchen applications in Almond color is a decent match for the Grady color. It's not perfect but it looks much better than white
