Default Using Dark Blue paint

I am interested in buying this Hunter. The boat for sale is painted flag
blue. On the internet the published picture of this boat is underexposed.
(With today’s digital camera it pretty hard to get the wrong exposure when
taking pictures.)
It is the first time that I see of a Hunter being painted dark blue. I
suspected something being not kosher. After talking to the broker's
assistant, I learned that the boat had been involved in a trucking side
swept while been deliver to the marina. The boat was repaired at the
Pearson plant and the owner asked for flag blue.

Flat black is the best for hiding imperfections. Hides rust streaks, plank
irregularities, just about everything. Can't sell your boat? Paint the
topsides flat black and sell the romance.

Dark gloss paint is the absolute worst for revealing imperfections.
Light
colors in lower gloss make things easier.

I wonder if painting the freeboard of a boat dark or flag blue will hide
some of the cosmetics defects or is white better??
