If they were painted at all, it was mostly olive drab, a type of dark green. By that point in the war many were unpainted aluminum, with only insignia and squadron markings painted on.

But on the morning of June 6 all Allied aircraft had a type of new paint job. These were "invasion stripes" - three broad white stripes around each wing and the fuselage, between the cockpit and the tail. This was so Allied aircraft could easily be identified. But there were very few enemy aircraft operating near the invasion beaches that day.
