Eh, I always assumed the stealth factor came from disrupting the automated and semi-automated identification, targeting, and weapons systems on ships so that they didn't recognize it as a threat or refused to target it for safety reasons, even as the pilots freaked out and tried to target their "ally".

After all, it doesn't matter what insignia you paint on a submarine or fighter jet, as long as enemy sonar/radar/etc can't see it, or it can fool the torpedoes or anti-air weapons.

But it's star wars... this much thought may not have gone into it. :D  I'd assume it's more an expression of her personality than anything practical, and for a story sometimes that's good enough.
