Remco,
I believe that you are taking about interior of the various types of ventilators found on the ship. Ken Marschall has stated that they are white inspite of what you may see in some of his early paintings. Ray Lepien has in his collection a brochure from the time of the Cunard/White Star merger stating that the ships from each line would retain their own colors. It then goes on to describe those colors, stating that on White Star vessels, the interiorsand exteriors of the vents were white. In addition, Bruce Beveridge has many photos in his collection made directly from the original glass negatives in which one can see that they are definitely white.
Regards,
Scott
