My research has pointed towards the Kriegsmarine using an off white color, which is what I have recreated for the next version of my mod(pure white looks ridiculously stark anyway).

Here's the info I got at UboatArchive.net on U-570: "Luminous paint was applied around all doorframes, to the edges of the two hatch skirts and overhead in the I.H. from door to door. A vertical strip of luminous paint was applied on the interior of the hatch trunks leading from C.R. to C.T. and to the hatch in the after battery room. Luminous paint was used generally on marking of gauges and indicators."
However, I do recall one of the reports mentioning that the U-boat was painted rather dark compared to US boats and that it should have been painted lighter to make better use of the light on board.
Here's a link to some large color pics of the U-505 exhibit (Type IXC) as she is painted today (unsure whether colors are original or not).

This picture looks like it was taken before restoration, presumably in original colors:
