if a simple shark has a light grey colour then the orcas also has their orignal colour black and white.
The distinctive coloration of killer whales is a type of disruptive coloration, a pattern that obscures the outline of an animal by contradicting the animal's body shape. In the flickering, filtered sunlight of the sea, other animals may not recognize a killer whale as a potential predators. Some scientists still believe that this is the incorect theory.
