Hi Fred
it's great that you continue to answer questions of modelers.
I would be interested to see if any color residues were found on the ladders, which lead to the sterncastledecks. These ladders are shown on the 1:10 model, and also in Landström's book without color.
As you've reported, it is believed that the guncarriages were painted black. That may also apply for the ladders and other fittings on the weatherdeck?

We have not tested any of the ladders for color remains, so do not know if they were painted or not. Gun carriages were black probably at least partly as an anti-corrosion measure for the iron hardware, which was not an issue for ladders. We really dod not have a handle yet on the paint scheme inboard, all of the sampling done by Peter TÃ¥ngeberg was on material from the outside of the ship.
