It looks to be more of a light grey rather than white. I think the days of painting aircraft gloss-white so as to reflect a nuclear flash are long gone. The light grey allows it to blend in with the sky at the high altitudes it usually flies.

I've seen the Travis pics previously, and yes, they probably did want it to be out of the way rather than in full view at an air show. Many of its capabilities are probably still classified.
