"Air Superiority Blue" is almost as visible as white.  The color of the
  early F-15's was too easy to spot, so we finally settled on "Smog Gray",
  which works pretty well.  Looks like the F-22 chose about the same hue of
  smog....
Naf, et al,
 
Smog Gray is very close to the color of lightly sanded WLS primer.  When test flying an airplane in that condition, it is almost invisible. If it is small (LNC2 size), has WLS coated pre-preg skin and loses the transponder- it is invisible to radar as well. 
 
Perfect for low altitude U2 missions (no, not spying on the band).
