As far as I know only the cockpit area was American Interior Green. a fairly dark green called Bronze Green. All the rest of the fuselage interior was plain unpainted aluminium. The walkway was also unpainted aluminium

Lancaster B.II - what interior colour for the canopy framing?
Black Knight replied to Scott Hemsley's topic in Aircraft WWII
I would go for matt black At the time it was believed any colour could show up at night and thus everything was painted matt black -

The chin radiator still needs a bit of tidying and the retractable radiator is made
