Are you referring to a/c actually found on the ground or a/c seen in the air? A grey aircraft seen at a considerable distance will look bluish because the air is slightly bluish (and so is snow; we call pure white "snow white" though snow isn't really white - under certain light conditions it looks light blue). Mountains covered with (green) forests will look blue on a hot summer day.
