The Navy does not fly F-15 in the overall fleet, just a limited number at Aviation test commands in order to test out air combat tactics.
However, Navy planes are usually painted off-haze gray, a lighter gray hue than haze gray. However, in given circumstances, planes could also be painted in a woodland pattern or a desert pattern.
For example, a carrier-based EA-6B Prowler will be painted off-haze gray. A C-130 assigned to a Logistics Squadron based in Qatar would be painted in a desert pattern if that's its primary area of service. A SH-60 Seahawk assigned to a Seal aviation Support squadron that primarily serves in the tropics would be painted in a woodland pattern.
Hope this helps

the f-15 Eagle is an air-force plane. All Navy Air Craft (exception blue angels) are Haze Grey. the angels are blue and gold, but those are all F/A-18 hornets. I don't know the color name for the F-15 though. If you mean F-14 Tomcat then it is Haze Grey. If you want to get squadron colors, then you can look those up through the navy web sites.
P.S. Some squadrons have special colors/patterns that they use for their paint job, but that is if you want specifics.

If Im not mistaken, and I dont think I am, the Navy does not fly the F-15, the F-14 was just retired from service, and the color is a really washed out grey,

I forget the Mill Spec Number but the Common Name is Equipment Gray. it MAY be 713 or 176 now that I think about it but it has been 10 years since I sprayed it. Testors has the exact color.

F-15s, all models are still very much our first line Air Supremacy AIR FORCE planes.
F-14s have retired, and all carrier based combat air units are gray

Go to a forum on Airplane models. They will flood you with all kinds of patterns, colors shades and markings.
