The very similar 60MB is definitely black on the trim and a light dusting of brown on the veneer. There's an original ad on this page stating the colors as black and "natural mahogany": http://www.tuberadioland.com/philco60MB_main.html

According to the gallery, the 66B uses the same cabinet as the 60MB. http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1935a.htm#ae

The original finish on my 60MB had the same shade on top, sides and front. Thanks to UPS it arrived splattered so you can see the front and sides next to each other.
