Constellation presents a number of issues for painting. Like having any sort of "primary" references like a person might have for a given aircraft.
Which colors at which time (and which ship) gets into some great debate.
Hard to go wrong with a hull color of deep-brown to black--like Testor's Rubber, with metal work picked out in gloss black. Then a "stripe" along the gunports in either a natural wood color; yellow ochre or white paint--that's pretty safe. Fittings in either red or green (I kind of like pale green) are defensible, too.
Decks, though, were "holy-stoned" every day. Which is that they were washed down and scrubbed with sandstone blocks. So, the decks were likely a pale silver-gray (like a weathered wood fence) with highlights in amber and grain and joints near-black. If a person used, oh, "unbleached linen" and let that dry; then washed in, oh, a ghost or gull gray, and let that dry; then a wash of black ought to snap out more detail.
Going into action, the decks were strew with sand for traction, rather than have a coating applied.
Now, masts and spar are going to be another issue. Naval practice varied as to what was painted, and where the demarcations were.
Hope that helps, some; any.
