Deck colours

[Mark S]

Good morning to you all!

I recently purchased the new COMBRIG 1/350 French battleship DANTON kit
and noticed the kit has no engraved deck planking. All decks are smooth.
Instructions give no clue but reading various reviews did. I now know DANTON had steel decks. But what would be the appropriate colour? Dark reddish brown like the "corticene" linoleum used on British ships, like Dreadnought (1906) for instance?

Can anyone help me out?
