There is one factor which could work against this line of thought: the (tactical) need to quickly identify pilots in the air.
Unit markings were meant to identify the unit, but beside the personal wish to distinguish themselves, personal markings were used to identify the individual pilot in the air.
That doesn't exclude the color, but it does present one (IMHO logical) reason why B&W matching alone might not work.
