I have a shot taken at the F-111C Retirement in 2010 that shows the interior to have been chromate green (the green, not yellowish one). For USAF jets, it seems to have been unpainted (dark metallic) or the exterior color (e.g., black on black bellied jets).

The interior of the bay was zinc chromate green, the colour of the inside of the skid could be the same or gloss white,

cheers,
