RN interior colours

What colour would the inside bulwarks (like the bits the captain would see standing on the bridge) be on a camouflaged WW2 ship?

Hi,

I don't know if this helps, but here are some links to the museum ships HMCS Haida and HMCS Sackville, as they look right now.

Thanks Pat,

I've been thinking that the colours would follow on.

Something like:

Exterior bridge port side-blue; interior bridge starboard side-blue

Exterior bridge starboard side-grey; interior bridge port side-grey

For a Canadian example try Googling images of HMCS Thetford Mines. You should find one or two overhead views of her bridge showing the inside dark grey whereas the exterior camouflage is light-toned.   CT 260 is the best for your purposes.
