Realistically, the color of the BBI Night Stalkers Little Bird is pretty accurate. If you look at this pic:

You can see that the actual black markings on it (UNITED STATES ARMY) etc are much darker than the paint on the airframe.
I have three of these and they all look pretty much right. The paint is like a super dark olive drab, almost black but not quite. If it isn't the exact color of the MH-6s in real life, under most lighting conditions it is impossible to tell the difference.
My real complaint about these is that the markings are in white -- in real life the MH-6s fly around with either no markings at all, or black markings. These white ones take away from the realism and make them look a bit too toy-like IMO.
