I've seen patents to Lockheed Martin for such technology at the patent site, but it was for ground vehicles.

My guess is, people are thinking of active camoflauge that will make the plane look just like the ground or sky, but my guess is it is just a technology that probably allows for the skin to "change shade"; i.e.-shades of cool grays and warm greys based on sensors around the aircraft that would determine what would be the right "color shade" to blend best.
