This article dates to last year, but I wonder if any RAN vessels have been spotted in the new scheme, or anything has been released on it?

Not sure, but this seems to show the new scheme, compared to the OHP clone next to it. From what I understand, there is a actually quite a bit of variation between haze gray schemes,as they are optimized for local conditions between various navies.

Well, last time I saw the Canberra (February this year), they were painted in a similar grey the Adelaide/OHP class, that green tinted grey. But all the concept art fro new surface ships has been in a similar grey to the Anzac Class above

Why would they go to the trouble of repainting an Anzac now?? If you Google for current pictures of HMAS Arunta at BAE's Henderson Shipyard, you'll see that she's is getting a complete strip back and repaint from undercoat as part of it's ASMD Work. if this is contracted work for all the upgrades - seems a bit of a waste to have repainted Parramatta Now!?!

So, is this going to be standard, SB grey scheme from now on?

Well, technically its akin to USN Haze grey, which is a few shades darker than Std SB Grey IIRC.
