Typically, US military aircraft interiors were painted with zinc chromate green. Instrument panels were matte black. Both Army and Navy/Marines had formal paint color specs. You should be able to get color samples with a web search.

Or, just use the color from that B-24 interior.

US civilian plane interiors could be any color depending on manufacturer. Most were some form of light gray or just bare aluminum.

You can't go too far wrong with the light gray used for the SB-2 cockpit.

The insulation blankets on the roof and sides of the cockpit were some color of Olive Drab on the C-47, probably some color of medium gray on the DC-3. It should be easy to get a color sample from your reference pictures.

Pictures of the cockpit you made have a correct color for the blankets on a DC-3. Gray paint color could be lighter.
