My small piece of veneer sample when cut diagonally was just right to fill the gap, and the grain and colour is similar to the wood

Yes, I agree. I have seen at least a couple of sets repaired like this, and in an inconspicuous place, the repair is essentially invisible.
Hands-up how many of us might have just reached for the brown paint
