Another reason why I dislike TFT's! I looked at that shot earlier and it looked hemp. Looking at it on the laptop with the screen at a slightly different angle.. it looks like low-vis grey in bright sunlight

That's the trouble with low-vis - now you see it, now you don't

Indeed Mike, I know what you mean about low viz
Another slight adjustment and I get this...

Its low vis grey I thought it was like the sandy colour like the nimrod had.

Did look like it
Reminds me of the pic someone posted of a Cambrian Trident in the orange roof livery
A slight alteration on the hue and suddenly and after not much adjustment, it was a Northeast yellow top.

The hemp scheme was trialled on Victors first IIRC.
The actual shade was supposed to mimic a weathered concrete, so the planes wouldn't be as conspicuous when
caught on a spy camera from above.
