I believe that the cooling fans themselves (not the grilles above them) are usually a medium grey color, but they get dirty really fast. Cab interiors are usually light grey, apple green or beige....seats are black or brown.

Thanks, i'll have to try and get some colour pictures. I'll paint the fans a weathered black but is apple green the common colour for the cab interior?

What era?
Green (Floquil light green is close) would be pre-MP merger, post MP merger grey would be typical and post SP merger it would be tan. These are very approximate ranges and may not be exact.

I'm modelling 1995 - 2000 period, so would either grey or tan be the interior colour for the cab?

Grey or tan would be appropriate.
