Silicone sealant that stays white?

I need to replace some some plastic panels around some upvc windows after decorating.
All the white silicone sealants I've used previously have discoloured quite quickly.
Is there any particular make that won't discolour?

cheers
 
I haven't had any problems with Dow Corning's Sanitary silicone.
 
The problem is that glazing silicone is low modulus, very soft and tends to discolor. Sanitary silicone is high modulus, much tougher. You'd probably be ok but don't blame me if it isn't.
 
Cheers opps and Joe. I'll try out sanitary silicone then.
