Even if most combat planes wear overall grey colors, camouflage color schemes can still prove to be important for survival in certain scenarios, both in the air and on the ground.
Anyway, regardless the reasons for using an overall monochrome light grey paint hob, aircraft sporting colorful liveries remain particularly cool and much appreciated by aircraft enthusiasts and photographers.

Although the aircraft can’t mask themselves against the blue sea in the background (a light grey color scheme would make them only slightly less visible), the exotic livery makes them particularly photogenic.
