I need to know the coloring or stains of the tops of the companion ways I think they’re supposed to be gray and I think they should be weathered a light gray. just guessing.

I took these images on the Charles Morgan in 2018:

At what point in her career? Today, her decks are relatively pristine with slight weathering. Photos, as above, appear as if they are occasionally bleached. On the other hand, during her working career, when covered with whale oil, they'd have been practically black, at least anywhere amidships around the cutting stage and tryworks.

The images were taken in Mystic Seaport in 2018. I am sure in her working day she was nowhere as pristine. Rendering is a messy process.

My colours are fairly accurate. I adjust in post processing and use a calibrated monitor.

I have some older photos. I'll have to find them. I think they were taken before the full restoration.
I found them, they were taken in 1998, but not seeing anything that you need.

I will never visit this vessel in person so I am a photo hound. Her life reminds me of Melville's Moby Dick.

In the Mystic Seaport Whaling Museum Exhibit there is a model of the Morgan which I understand represents the ships original look. I never found any actual documentation in Mystic that details the original paint colors.
Coincidentally the colors on the museum model exhibit match the paint colors listed in my old Marine Model Morgan kit instructions. In my kit, the copyright for the plans is dated 1939. So, I'm assuming the colors used on this model are reasonably accurate.
