Go to Home Depot and look in the electrical section. I think they have plastic knockout plugs.

2way radio shop we use to use stocked them.
I was going to say the metal ones for a conduit knock out.

Duct tape!
Crude rank amateur. I would use Gorilla tape. Nothing but the best will do.

I thought the silver would go better with yellow than black would.

Just check your hardware store.
Old school. Think of chrome wheels on a yellow car (or truck) vs. black. Gotta keep up with the times.
Ya need pretty or functional weather proof? I'd get an expanding freeze plug for an engine block and install that. Whittle a stick that would fit is what my grandpa would have used. A bolt. nut, and a couple of fender washers. Weld in a plug.

I once plugged a hole in the bottom corner of a gas tank with a whittled down piece of tag alder. Flipped up a small piece of steel plate on July third. No place open to attempt a fix.
Slowed down the leak enough that I made it the fifty miles home, through heavy city traffic in suburban Chicago.
Got dicey stopped at traffic lights, since smoking was still a thing in those days, and flipping expended butts wasn’t a no no.
Dumb, but I didn’t explode.

Your local Ace hardware should have a selection of plugs in their hardware section.

Clear Gorilla tape is also an option.
