I gave up and installed the ivory receptacle from Lowes.

Don't stop there. Visit a hobby store that caters to model railroad
buffs and get a tiny bottle of dark brown paint. Nobody but you and G-d
will know what you did. G

I could also use a brown grounding receptacle and fill the ground pin
with (brown) epoxy.

Nah, that would fail a quick glance test. That one's blade slots would
be noticably high or low relative to the receptacle's "faces". G

Knowledge of correct slot location is very important 'yknow:

A receptacle changer from Brighton,
Once told his best girl, "You're a tight one."
She said, "pon my soul,
You're in the wrong hole.
But there's plenty of room in the right one."
