That picture is taken under the very bright lights of the paint inspection booth.
It distorts the colours in the camera
Then add photoshop and it can distort the colours even more.

Here is another picture of the paint shop uniform worn in Dingolfing under other lighting. Notice how much darker the blue of the uniform is than in the first picture.
Even the grey top part looks a lot different

All that said, it does look very light in the photo
