Here in Oregon, where there is often white overcast and snow in the
mountains in the winter, there's a lot of white.

Here in the Midwest we have blue skies and green vegitation. White
shows up quite well.

These are all great answers and thoroughly convincing as to why white is
probably the best overall color. If I was painting an airplane, I'd include
a stripe or something that would stand out against terrain. I like the
previous post about "invasion stripes." ANY EXCUSE TO PUT INVASION STRIPES
ON YOUR AIRPLANE IS A GOOD ONE! :

One of the '152s I fly went from yellow on white to candy apple red and gold
on white, with red wingtips and tail. It's hilarious, but pretty. The owner
decided he wanted a candy apple red airplane. Very easy to see now.
