The coatings under play a huge role also.
The original F-117 paint scheme was pastels to limit the ability to pick them up at night visually but the Air Force does not like pastels evidently.
I think the only way to make a B52, with the radar return of a small city, stealthy is to make it out of the same stuff as Wonder Woman's jet.
Evidently the color of the paint doesn't matter too much. The above craft is pretty light. Most likely because it was a daytime spy.
