For das boot however, the choice of dark grey is for obvious reasons. Realism is not everything, it's above all, a dramatic movie!

I imagine it was a deliberate choice on the part of the cinematographer, Jost Vacano. As it was, the only lights they could use were the ones already part of the set, and those had to be substantially brighter than the "real" ones due to limitations of the film they were using. If they'd painted the interior white, as it was IRL, you'd end up with "hot spots" all over the place that wouldn't look good on the big screen. So, the interior of the submarine in
Das Boot was painted dark grey to avoid this problem.
Yeah, I'm kind of a film geek.
