...and that's even MORE garish than the UK version; slightly o/t, but, to be honest, I've never been a fan of ANY DB liveries except the red & cream as used on the 103 class electrics. Maybe it's just me & my impeccable sense of good taste? (Yeah, right). Come to that, other unhappy liveries (in my humble opinion) are ATW's turquoise & cream, and the purple & green colour scheme that's now thankfully disappearing from the LM units.
