WWII French cockpit interior color?????

All,

I'm doing a little fact-finding on correct WWII French A/C colors and wanted to know if anyone could help with FS 14108 or 'Vert Protctif' ( Protective Green ). My Squadron book says that this was the interior color for all French A/C from that era............Does that include wheel wells, etc. or just the cockpit.......??????

I've seen the online color rendering of the "Lifecolor" brand acrylics and the "chip" looks a little dark to me............ well, alot dark........... From color depictions, or what one can make out from them, Protective Green looks more like RAF interior "gray-green", etc.

The model instructions are no help either........... The CA MS-406 calls for gray; The Azur VG-33 calls for light gray; and the Tamiya Dewoitine calls for dark gray............

I plan on mixing enough paint to finish all three birds, but wanted to know if I was on the right track with "Vert Protectif" as an interior color............ and, if so, if it should be as dark as the "Lifecolor" shade.............

I realize that research on L'Armee de L' Air is pretty scarce, but there's bound to be someone who can answer this query............Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!...........

Completely confused ,
