Which Caulking For Front Window

Just redid all the exterior caulk joints on my 2000 class c.

The front upper window is new and installed.
All joints cleaned and ready for caulking.

I’m using Proflex for all other joints and am certain I purchased a tube of clear for the window. Yet can’t find it.

So… other options for this window?
Would white work or would it look goofy?
Any other caulk carried at a box store that would work?

I am a pro flex fan, many because, unlike silicone, you can put new pro flex over old if needed without having to remove it all a completely clean the surfaces. I ordered from Amazon because my local CW didn’t have any in stock.

I once bought white by mistake for sealing black-on-white seams like that. Looked terrible. Buy something clear. My local Walmart had proflex last time I looked. Dicor would be fine also.

Walmart, Lowes, Depot, etc will have clear Proflex or an equivalent. You can use any exterior grade sealer, including a "silicone blend". If the label says the sealant is paintable, there is no worry about stuff sticking to it.
