Keep in mind that camo on aircraft isn't meant to make it hard to see in the sky; it's meant to make it harder to see on the ground. If they wanted to make an aircraft near-invisible in the sky, they'd be light pink.
Pretty sure that colour is so it can't be seen when on the ground or at low altitude from the air.
