Camouflage- a dumb question

For many years i have wondered about the use of camouflage on aircraft, as in does it really hide the aircraft when it is in the air? i can understand when it's on the ground. however German camo has always baffled me because of the yellow or white theater markings.

wouldnt a BF 109 with the whole nose, the tail and wing tips in yellow stand out like a sore thumb?
