Thanks for Your reply and to admit that "original" image is indeed much more likely real ... but it is not.
Anyway the J-20's colour is indeed a very unique issue I also noted: pending the lightning-conditions even exactly the same J-20 looks very different. I'm sure it is even more a mess for modellers to get the colours right than for the F-22 and F-35.

Since dogfights happen at visual range, visual stealth or optical distortion, is an important direction for fighter development.
Before, we can get an invisible cloak, like in Harry Potter, a new type of paint, that will mess with our eyes, is entirely possible.

Invisible Clothing
by wfber
For new technology of fashion, I would like to know more about “invisible clothing” in real life. As the cover up cloak which Harry Potter used in the film. It will hide the body of inside and show as invisible. It is high protection and useful. So I imagined if it is possible technology in real life without magic will be a cool thing. In Mission Impossible –Ghost Protocol (2011), the characters used a screen and a camera to make an invisible cover up, it is a good concept showing in the film that is the camera recording the image of behind, then it shows on the screen. When people in front of the screen, they will see the image of behind of the screen, just as invisible screen. There are two designs about invisible clothing I found on the Internet.
- JAPANESE INVISIBLE TECHNOLOGY: OPTICAL CAMOUFLAGE
Is he “The Invisible Man” by H.G. Wells? It looks like as if three men walking behind are seen through the body of graduate student Kazutoshi Obana during a demonstration of optical camouflage technology at the Tokyo University in Tokyo Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2003. The demonstration conducted by Faculty of Engineering Prof. Susumu Tachi is an early stage of his research that will eventually enable camouflaged objects virtually transparent by wearing an optical device. This photo was taken through a viewfinder that provides with a combined image of moving images taken behind Obana and him wearing a luminous jacket that makes a transparent effect. The technology can be useful for various professions such as surgeons who wish their own fingers and surgical tools won’t block the view of affected parts and pilots who wish cockpit floors were transparent for landings.

It is designed by TACHI laboratory of the University of Tokyo in 2003. It calls “invisible cloak”.It shows the projection of behind of the cloak. The concept as the example of Mission impossible I talked about before. There is the concept diagram I found.
The technology named Optical camouflage, it is a type of active camouflage. For the result of design, I think the reflection too weak, not invisible as much as Harry Potter or Mission Impossible one. It is about the texture of the cloak.
The following clip is the demo of the invisible cloak.
2.HYPER STEALTH BIOTECHNOLOGY : “QUANTUM STEALTH” TECHNOLOGY
It is designed by a Canadian camouflage-design company. It is different with the Japanese one, specially the texture. It is something as “Quantum Stealth” technology, which let human eyes be tricked by the material with the blending light around the object inside of the cloak. The result of the reflection I think it is better than the Japanese invisible cloak. It is not easy to know the cloak here.
But in my mind, I will think about does it not work in the dark night? it is because it is blending light. By the way, there are the mockups of the design concept only. I hope it will success in not much years later.
