I agree,  it does look like light stone, but whether it's authentic or not is another matter, perhaps Miss Prism will be along later and shed some light on it.

 

 

I asked exactly the same question when I was at Didcot a few years ago & was told it was light stone. The K14 was newly painted at the time. I was surprised tho' but couldn't find out the authority that lead to the decision to so paint it.

Although this vehicle did not suffer the ravages of time after normal GWR and WR service, it seems as though a significant amount of new wood was involved, particularly for the doors, so maybe the inauthentic painted-colour interior was chosen to blend over the different woods.
