Why is the boat dark grey on the inside?

[Greif8]

Hi LiveGoat, Dougie did a great job on his document dealing with uboat colors, though his document covers mostly exterior colors. Understandable, as that document is was written a a reference for modellers. I post fairly frequently over on Dougie and Wink Guise's forum, and have talked with both of them about this very topic. Always informative and interesting!

Your second link describes the research and repainting process that Keith Gill's team did while refurbishing U505. As a result of their outstanding work U505 is the "gold standard" for what a uboat most likely looked during WWII. The link is a very good one.
