SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - You know it just struck me ... why black???

I've been playing SH4 since it's release and although I probably had this in the back of my mind all along, I never really pursued the train of thought.

Can anyone explain why the paint schemes of all our subs are very dark grey or black? All the subs I've seen in pictures, and indeed the one sub I've visited (USS Requin at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh) are all light grey. Do you guys think Ubi went with a much darker scheme simply because they thought it looked more striking? If that's so, I think I'd take realistic over striking any day.

Or are these accurate period paint schemes and the lighter ones came later?

Thanks.
