Believe it or not, all styles and schemes depend on N# regulation markings. It’s best to understand your N# first, how big or small it can be and then start the design process. For example, an aircraft less than 30 years old must have an N# that is 12 inches or larger. An aircraft 30 years or older only 2 inches. An aircraft up to 180 Kts C.A.S. needs at least a 3 inch N# and if it’s faster than 180 Kts C.A.S. it must be 12 inches. For production or experimental aircraft, the N# must be placed horizontally on the tail or fuselage between the trailing edge of the wing and/or the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer or the jet engine housing (nacelles). For a rotorcraft, the N# must be placed horizontally on the cabin, fuselage, tail or the boom. And finally for experimental aircraft the markings need to be horizontally on the tail, fuselage between the trailing edge of the wing and/or the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer.

Liveries are uniforms, and airlines carry many types of these paint
schemes.There are commemorative (paint or wraps celebrating a
milestone), bare metal (old-school), heritage/retro (80’s 2 colors and
straight lines), regional brands (flags/countries’ colors), billboard
(wide-body aircraft branding), cheatline (like heritage, has
decorative, single, horizontal or multiple, band of colors applied to
the sides of a fuselage), government (camo), logo (one color and
logo), military (stealth), alliance brands (corporate identities) and
jelly bean (multiple designs and colors).

The most popular aircraft paint schemes today are the Jelly Bean
(wave art) you see on new aircraft and motorhomes.The concept
has no real name other than Jelly Bean but the idea is to make the
vehicle look larger and blend in any imperfections from wear and
tear, weather damage, sun damage and other types of blemishes.
Older styles where just simple lines/colors and manufacturers
learned that the more complex the paint scheme, the longer the
vehicle keeps its value. If your paint on your aircraft is older than 10
years, you may want to consider repainting it. However, believe it or
not, most large aircraft are painted white. Research has shown that
white is a neutral color, has thermal benefits, doesn’t fade like other
pigments leaving the plane look newer longer (I beg to differ),
reflects better and is the cheaper option. It also has titanium in it
which has advantages for aerospace but we paint small planes so
let’s not get distracted.

The most popular aircraft paint colors in the late 2010’s are dark
roasted coffee. Dark blends of browns and blacks are absolutely the
hottest thing right now and we see it all over the place on coaches
and planes.They say coffee is the new wine and coffee company
colors are what is the future of aviation. Blacks and browns are
actually a safe aviation color for FAA medical standards.There are
guidelines for color perceptions and when you are flying in the air,
light colors are harder to see than darker colors.You will actually
start to see this trend play out as soon as the airlines catch up to us
smaller paint shops who are at the cutting edge of design.
