But what were the INTERIOR colors? (NW Modeling List)

[NW Modeling List]

Going from memory (yes, I know that's a dangerous thing to do) here. I 
recall passing thru one in 1964 and the corridor was a dark tan, as I 
recall. I did ride another sleeper in the final weeks of the Pokey in 1971 
and, I believe it was a grayish blue.
