Random Fact: Dazzle Camouflage

The IN (wet navy) kept using dazzle camouflage right through the modern era, on the grounds that even if it didn’t have much defensive value in the days of radar and the Mk. 1 eyeball being no longer a primary detection system, at least it meant their ships didn’t look boring . Haze gray, my ass.

I could see the Empire being an early adopter of programmable paint for their warships (or for that matter any eldrae ships). Animated dazzle patterns on Fleet Days!
