from which these now-familiar illustrations are extracted from. I understand this doesn't necessarily apply to an unmanned airframe, but sharing it here because here is as good as any other thread.

TWZ got Planet Labs imagery showing GJ-11s, seemingly in camo, at Malan:

To me it looks like compression artifact and lens flare, or combined effect of both. A sat lens is a super telephoto lens having many elements. Like all long focal length lens it is prone to flare no matter how high end it is. Flares take different shapes and colors. Data compression then amplify and enhance the flares. Data compression alone can also create blocks that twist pixel informations both in overall brightness of RGB and individual color element therefor creating color that isn't there.

Look at the red circled asphalt or concrete surfaces. There are colors (mostly blue and cyan, but some pinkish) too although we know they are shades of gray (no color).

The camouflage of the GJ-11s on those satellite pictures just look like standard grey to me.

Basically, what the models of GJ-11 that we've seen before would look like as real aircraft, but taken in a desert from a satellite without high end resolution:

I don't see how people are viewing some sort of exotic camouflage livery on those airframes tbh.
