The interior color is semi-gloss white. The inside face of the hatches is usually the same color as the exterior. Sometimes, on desert painted vehicles though, the hatch interior face color is still in bronze green as the original color was before the vehicle was repainted in desert sand.

Always the base exterior colour Olive Green of which the tank was originally painted , hatch cushions are a deep bronze green with a satin finish as they are a vinyl material.
