Got to agree. The NXEC livery looks totally anonymous, as well as resembling the EMT colour scheme.
The GNER scheme harked back to the original pre-nationalisation GNE livery, but I never liked the pinky-red lumenescent (is that how you spell it?) stripe along the full length of the train. It was an eyesore! NXEC, as a temporary measure, put white tape over the pinky-red which (I have to say) improved it slightly. Despite that, I think the GNER blue would have looked better if it was a fraction paler, tending towards a Royal Blue rather than the Dark Blue it was.
