Ninja's figured it out years ago that a dark grey was best.

Okay, I'm going out on a limb here, and feel free to slap me if I'm being stupid. We've all heard rumours of this adaptive colouring technology, whereby an aircraft can alter its apparent colour to match it's surroundings. Now, could this grey be the colour of the skin when it's "switched off"?

Read this article, and look close at the pictures. even the HUD in the F-117 is strange shaped.
Makes an interesting point about the lack of navigation equipment in the F-117. Very interesting, even if it is a bit old.
