Can anyone help with authenticated details of the original German colour or colours for Storch interior?

Many TIA.

Early ones would be RLM02, mid to late war ones would have been RLM66 (dark grey)

Agreed, at least for the metal parts. I'm not sure what color the inside of the fabric would be.

Thank you gentlemen.

Can you provide a source, or explain the rationale to a Luftwaffeexpertenophobe like me?

TIA!

Dashboards would be RLM 66, dark grey on most.
Interior areas, walls floors etc RLM66 from mid war onwards.

Early examples would have the dark grey 66 dash, but the rest would be a lighter colour RLM02

this link has all the colours listed and FS equivalent samples to see when you click on them.
