Thoughts on siding repair

I have this hole in some vinyl siding, the problem is its faded very bad and I can't find a piece to come close to matching.

I was thinking about installing a white block and putting a door bell on it, unfortunately the house does not have a door bell and its a pretty stupid place for a door bell switch.

This is the rear of a house I am flipping.

Anything thoughts?

I would remove that piece and replace it with something close. There is a place by me that will sell siding by the piece. You could then take the old piece to Sherwin Williams and they can match the color on their computer. You can then paint that new piece.

I had something similar when Comcast installed the cable line too low at one of my houses. A truck caught the line and ripped it off the house, taking some siding with it. Comcast replaced those pieces of siding and painted them to match.
