I have seen a small number of Kamov and Mils in various places and lots of photos and they all had cabin and dashboard painted in a sort of pale blue-green colour.

Most western helicopters have either matt black or grey (presumably to decrease the reflected glare off surfaces).

Why the blue-green colour? Is it just that Mil and Kamov bought up big when blue -green paint was cheap?

Does it make any difference when you fly with glare etc?
