I'm planning to create a background "sheet" area around my images as posted on the web to simulate the paper they'll be printed on (which will be Entrada Natural). Does anyone have an accurate RGB value for the color of the paper? I could, of course, take a picture and read the value from the digital file, but then I'd have to make sure to be accurately white balanced. If someone has already done an accurate measurement, I'd welcome that info. Thanks.

Maybe this number can be retrieved from an ICC profile?

Mark,
The paper white point is included in the profile data, but in L*a*b* color. For Entrada Natural the value is 98,0,2

Thanks! I've tried applying this value (which a L*a*b* converter that I found told me was F9F9F9, when the RGB values are rounded to whole numbers). (Rounded to a tenth, it was 249.2 for all three RGB values.) Actual paper appears to be somewhat warmer than that, but my display calibration may be suspect and this may work for my purposes, anyway.

Sorry, folks, I misspoke in that last post, in case anyone cares. The L*a*b* converter actually gave me FBF9F5 for the RGB hex values. That actually looks like it will work well for me. I'll come back if I have further questions. Sorry for the initial confusion.
