At the same time I expect teams to downplay their visibility by using darker and matte colors. I also broadly assume that color and type of paint will be selected to minimize driver distraction.

I could be wrong, but I thought I read something weeks ago that the new exclusion zones may not totally eliminate the potential for T wings.

You're right. They are still possible, albeit totally different in location.
The 750mm gap between bodywork exclusions still exists, but they have made a side-on regulation to define another bodywork-excluded zone.

This still leaves the area in green and the white area between the wheel and red patch (within the 750mm gap) for possible T-bar use. (Image from Autosport)
