Special color schemes
For anniversaries it's a tradition that one aircraft from a squadron receives anniversary markings (special color scheme). Also not wearing the operational scheme are the aircraft from the demonstration teams and depending on the country also the aircraft dedicated to performing the solo displays at air shows. It's also a tradition that the tiger squadrons from the NATO tiger assocaition (partly) paint one or more aircraft participating in the annual NATO Tiger Meet.
