The original Omega Seamaster 300 that this new one is based on had radium lume.
To create radium lume, radium was mixed with zinc sulfide, which naturally has a yellowish-brownish tint because of the sulphur content (hence 'sulfide').
See pic.

So the lume on the original 1957 Seamaster 300 would have looked very much like the lume on the modern variant: slightly yellowish-brown. Maybe a little lighter than the modern variant's lume.

Oh, and the modern SM300 doesn't have a painted dial, it's matte ceramic.
