Should the GBR Livery be Neutral Colours?

Personally, I think it works better as static branding (which does look decent, conveying a sense of speed and modernity). On vehicles, less is more.

I like it on the end vehicles pointing in the direction of travel. I agree with those who think it shouldn't be repeated on the intermediates as it just looks naff. Either plain blue or an abstract pattern not pointing a specific way - look at the TPE livery for an example.

As someone who will forever hate GBR with every fibre of my being, the livery isn't completely a lost cause in my opinion.

The colours are fine and work well together, mostly, however the design itself looks like it was made by a 4 year old on MS Paint. It's too sharp and too harsh and would rarely fit the profile of any train it's on, and especially not on centre coaches...
