From what I have heard, only white and grey are approved for the laminar flow, but customers can choose other colours at a drag penalty.
I think you will find the requirement, or more to the point recomendation for white or grey applies to the engine cowling, not the body, which is what was being disucssed. Something to do with paint thickness and as you mentioned laminar flow.
