What color was the interior of the early-war panzer gray 250 and 251 HTs? Not the driver's compartment; the open area for the riflemen.

Easy… Throughout the war regulations dictated that the interior of of open topped vehicles was to the painted in thenbase colour of the vehicle. So if your open topped vehicle was grey, so was the interior.

BTW… Same goes for insides of hatches on vertical surfaces (like the hatches on the turret sides of a PzKw III or IV).

Unfortunately, Panzer Buff looks more attractive.

Incorrect, but more attractive.

depends on what period.Past 1943 mostly dark yellow, with a short period of a few months in 1944 red primer.

Pink. With purple daisies randomly scattered about.

Seriously, though – same as the outside, as others have noted.

What about panzer grey halftracks which were repainted dunkelgelb in 1943? :)
