Well.....If you have evergreens (Firs, Pine, ect) in the background, I have found that 
pretty much any very dark color works well.....Black, dark Green, dark Blue, Brown, 
ect.

The parts of the masts right by the trailer should be painted the same as what is 
next to it to blend in.

I do believe that a Black antenna is pretty hard to see against the sky, but it may not 
be as 'stealthy' as you would want......A light Blue would be fairly hard to see on a 
sunny day, but something that light will show very well against a darker 
background.....like trees, storm clouds, ect.
