Actually....neither paint scheme is worth a damn.

As we do not have to worry about Oppo Air.....thus no need to blend in with the terrain beneath us....why not paint them to blend in with the sky above us as that is the direction the bad guys are looking (generally). If they are looking down at the aircraft....it is from a hill/ridge/mountain and thus close enough to make out the aircraft no matter what color or pattern they are.
