Anyway... The color callout on the instruction sheet says mainly a 50-50 mix of "Grey Silk Matt" and "White Silk Matt." Makes a light gray, I would imagine. As I remember it, another fellow posted that it should be a sort of "sea foam" green. I went off hunting, and found this museum ship. It does actually show a "sea foam" green:

BUT, I also found (but can not relocate) period photos of the interior of an ACTIVE boat serving at the time. Those images showed the light gray interior. Al Ross chimed in that he also thought light gray. Both Al and myself asked the fellow who posted the "sea foam green" info for a source. He never replied.
So... The instructions, Al Ross, and photos I once found long ago all showed light gray. Another fellow, and the museum ship show "sea foam green."
Entirely you call. Pick what you'd like from those two, or go with another color.
Best of luck to you.
Hi All,
My friend Bob is going to finish my 1/72 PCF from Revell for me. A sidebar ... the fit looks good. Although he had to fill in a few injection marks and build up an nterior hatch/door ...
The question: What color(s) was/were the interior? White?
