The "best" solution is to use *multiple* colors.

My airplane (non-experimental, but don't hold that against me) is painted
white
on the top surfaces, and dark red/maroon on the underside of the fuselage.
I
figure it helps visibility, in that the light outline should be visible
against most
earth-tone surfaces (snow excepted), and the dark red should stand out
against
most sky colors.

Sort of the reverse of some early camoflage schemes that used light below,
and
dark above. I'm thinking of some WWII era Navy schemes here...

Just a thought.
