As a guess, I suspect the lower surfaces are Light Ghost Gray, from the appearance of the drop tanks. The munition with blue stripe (an inert training round) is a Storm Shadow medium range cruise missile. It appears to be painted in a color close to gunship gray. Light ghost gray is used on the Naval and air force versions of the Raphale in service with the French. Is this a camo measure under evaluation, or has it already been approved or canceled?

The Gripen, (thanks to the NSA). The Brazilians are going to replace their F-5 soon so the Super-Hornet and Rafale will be in the running again.
