There's some balance, yes, but I don't think a realistic paint job would make the game more boring or hard to play.
Saying we want or need bright colors on the paint job to make it more attractive is a bit... not giving us enough credit, don't you think?
Plus, the realistic coloring even works well for the aesthetics of the game. It better conveys the feeling of the machine being made entirely for stealth, and the tense stalking that occupies its time.
If it were up to me, the 3d view would have much shorter view distance and get darker more rapidly with depth, too. Really give the feeling of being deep in the abyss. That eerie, unsettling, sort of surreal feeling is what made the old subsims so attractive to me. This still captures it, though, just could do it better.
