Default Any suggestions in 'how to' fix a small chip in the dash?

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix a small chip in the dash? My 2005 Prius has a small chip in the lower portion of the dash on the driver's side, and although I am sure it would be difficult to find something that matches the color of the dash, does anyone have a 'touch up' recommendation?

Thanks...John

It is the black color around the dash brightness wheel, and it actually looks like something removed the color. Maybe some foreign substance got on the plastic there and took it down to the ivory that seems to be the color which is showing now.

jgeiger,
Hope you don't object to me hitch-hiking on your post but I have small chips showing up on the little square "pushme" opener on the lower glove box of our Millennium Silver Prius. Same colour as the dash. Anyone else had this problem and have fixed it?

As I clarified earlier, the black color came off in a small spot probably due to some foreign substance on that section of the dash. I hope I don't have to replaace that section of the dash to fix. I am not sure of the exact black color on the Dash, although I though all Dash colors in the Prius were the same.
