ACL M-5 Caboose Interior Colors

greenspun.com : LUSENET : ACL and SAL Railroads Historical Society : One Thread

What are the interior colors for the ACL/SCL M-5 cabooses? We think that they had light green colored walls and black upholstery but we're not sure. We're trying to detail the interior of one of the Wright Trak M-5 models and wanted to do it correctly.
