The final coating should be blue grey antracit ish,so its not final paint.
I am just curious, usually before final painting the base coating is either yellowish or greenish (based on the chemical composition).

So KAAN with white base coating is rather unique.

Colour can be literally anything. Depends on the layup fibers/matrix dye...one or both can be hot pink if you want it....but that kind of thing would look unprofessional and probably needs some extra calibration when testing EO/IR signatures without RAM application etc.

Have Blue (nighthawk) was something close to white as well iirc before they slapped some camo on it too. It went fully jet black lot later.
