US Navy & USMC High Viz

Standard colours of US naval aircraft from 1950s till 1970s

From late 1944 until 1955 all US carrier-based aircraft wore Dark Sea Blue overall colour.

After 1955 till late 1970s upper surfaces of carrier-based US Navy and USMC attack planes were painted in Light Gull Grey, with Insignia White used on lower surfaces. The opposite combination was used in "solar-heat reflecting" scheme of naval transport, patrol and ASW aircraft (with Seaplane Grey used on land-based planes).

International Orange was dedicated to “high-viz” painting schemes and used on training and SAR planes.
