Pedantic Question about Paint Schemes

Howdy!
I was just re-reading Silent Running by James Calvert and a question popped into my head; does anyone know if the different paint measures used by the USN have any bearing on detectability of subs while running on the surface in the game?

I ask because there are a few paragraphs in the book that describes how when the USS Jack changed from the early war all black paint to the medium grey, it became far less visible on the surface at night. I don't know if it's in the game right now, but would it be something that could be mod'ed?
