Having seen the blue livery for the 68`s, could the mk5s also be similar?

Yes, that's been confirmed by a photo in the Chiltern Mark 5s thread:

Chiltern MK5s Starting 2026 (non speculative updates thread)
I haven't seen 008/009 on the Chiltern line for a long time now though obviously don't record every working.

Perfect and thank you! Is there a photo of the full set ?

Just that one of the cab end at the moment, as far as I'm aware.
It’s rarely in good places for a full photo. I saw it at Wembley from a few metres away, so only a carriage at a time. It’s been seen at stations, but also from too near.
From the ones seen in the other thread, the livery isn't too pleasing on the eye in my opinion. It looks like something I'd expect to see on a CGI render of futuristic Amtrak stock. Maybe my thoughts might change if I get to see the full livery but for now I'm not too keen on it, and I certainly hope GBR's future livery isn't going to be anything like it.

Whilst others have said the blue is quite a vast improvement on the bland grey before it. For me i think it looks very good and bodes very very well for the future.
