Re: Orient Line corn yellow.
The packaging looks the part for on-board sales but the raised portholes resemble the Anguplas casting which was available with a yellow hull. During the early half of WW2, Orion had a black hull and dark upperworks and appears in the Roland Smith series of videos (No.4, Colour Camera at Sea) but the funnel is not in shot. My opinion is that the upperworks might have been buff but more likely grey and the funnel plain black until 1942 when the MOWT would only provide War Insurance for ships in overall grey.
