I am tying to find a painting guide for the low vis tomcat scheme, and I think I've found the general pattern, but there seem to be two different interpretations of the colors, first I found this one:
http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev1/901-1000/Rev966_EagleStrike48207/rev966.htm
which shows light ghost gray on the belly, dark ghost gray on the sides and medium gray on top.

but then I found this one on MATS, about midway down the page:
http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-detail-colours.htm
which has light ghost gray on the belly, medium gray on the sides and dark ghost gray on top.

I did some paint swath tests and I am inclined to agree with the first one, but I wanted to check with you guys first to be sure.

The pattern on the second one is correct as are the FS numbers they call out, but they've switched two of the colors on the the index on the upper right. 35237 Medium Gray is the topside color and 36230 Dark Compass Ghost Gray is the gray on the sides, tails, etc.
