The reason for the off white and pale blue at the forward end was to make them almost invisible when approaching head on. The stern was dark so the ships could keep station on one another. This camouflage was pastel in nature to absorb light, rather than reflecting it. It worked. When Haida sank T-27 the Germans never saw them and thought they were being shelled by a cruiser.
