URGH. I think First have done some great things with their trains, but for buses - they haven't got a clue! Those pastel colours just look like the paint has faded and the buses look about ten or twenty years old, even though you can see they're new!
I've always thought Southern trains look washed out and worn, both inside and out (more inside than out, mind) and it's quite important to choose appropriate colours. And if testing things out on a computer, perhaps actually test things out before signing it off and ending up with the above...
