My Guess would be or Yellow or ..... Grey. White is very vulnerable to getting dirty so I guess Grey would be the way to go. Also you see dirt very fast on a white underground. Try several greys and dilute it really really thin and apply it to the whole area you want it. Then dab it with a piece of tissue (Don`t whipe) and you`ll have a really nice weathered interior.
That would do the trick

Thanks for the help Robert,I will give it a try,Ive put a wash of muddy brown on the floor and that came out ok. maybe a few scratches and scuff marks will help break up the uniform appearence.Cheers
