Picture of civilian DC-3 Cockpit here:

You should be able to get a good color sample off of the picture. Gray instrument panel could make a nice distinction from C-47 and other DC-3 variants, but black was just as common.

Zinc Chromate primer is naturally yellow-green, but when applied to aluminum is apple green. A bit of black paint was often added to make it more ultraviolet resistant, so the color could be darker - almost olive drab. It also gets darker as it oxidizes. So, your choice of colors as long as it's ugly green!

This color will work just fine:

Here are a couple of color C-47 cockpits which show variants of Zinc Chromate primer. Note the variations! I'm starting to get the sense that no two C-47 cockpits were the same!
