Sounds like you're on the right track.  In the cold white papers,
Condor BW has been a long time favorite of mine.  Since Hawk Mtn uses
an already white paper base, I've not seen any warming from OBA burn
off, just a very slight lessening of brightness.  Really nice stuff. 
Good luck with it.

Regards,
Clayton
