PianoLac is black black, it matches black ploy and the old well cured black 
lacquer.

I've done touch-up on both new poly and lac and it is indistinguishable. 
Not only that, it
does a fantastic job finishing a piano in short order. Non toxic as well.

Of course if the insurance will cover the Bose repair, get it done in poly. 
but lacking that,
a Pianolac finish on the front lid and bass cheek would be a suitable match.
