Roman Bronze is a metallic color, offered as an "all-over" single color, or as part of a 2-tone paintjob (either as the body color with a second color for the roof, or vice-versa (numerous Hudson dealers would also paint the lower portion of the body sides in whichever color was used on the roof, probably to help move an otherwise fairly slow-selling car.

As for Hudson's 1954 interior colors, I believe they were pretty much the same as for 1953--however, a Google Image Search for "1954 Hudson" should turn up some pictures showing at least some of the interiors. Something to bear in mind, when searching for, looking at images though: I did a quick search earlier, and the only interior shots I could find were mainly convertibles with a few Hollywood hardtops tossed in--no good shots of a Club Coupe, 4dr sedan, or 2dr Club Sedan showed up--what I have found, in chatting with a Hudson enthusiast is that there were 4 interior color combinations for closed body styles: Brown, Grey, Blue and Green--very nearly monotone schemes, with the instrument panel painted to match. All steering wheels were white though.

PM me if you have any more questions?
