As any artist will tell you, distant mountains often appear a faint blue or even purplish- but never are close up! A valley of rolling green fields do get lighter and take on a bluish tinge as they get further away. This is the effect of the atmosphere.
Whether the effect of the atmosphere between a viewer and a tank at the bottom of a street is sufficient to noticably alter the colour is a difficult one to answer- but I have noticed a lot of modellers overspraying camo patterns with Tamiya buff, [or dusting with Mig powders] to "tone it down", "blend it in", "reduce the harshness" and I think unconsciously what they are doing is giving it that soft focus that an object viewed at distance has.
