Not sure if anyone else experiences this, but I have problems with purples and blues when viewed with a backdrop of distant hills or mountains (so you get the purple/brown sort of effect). At one time, my Renegade sloper had a beautiful pearl blue paint job and white fuse. The wing would all but vanish when I flew it directly toward or away from me with the distant hills as a backdrop.
The worst, of course, is chrome. I have a small T-6 Texan power plane which has wings covered in chrome monokote. The wings are almost completely invisible 90% of the time, except when they catch the sun at just the right angle and the flash blinds you. h_k_russell wrote: > > No matter what color you paint a plane, it will end up black when > highlighted against the sky (Mr. Murphy said that).
