It's the most boring livery they could have come up with, and not exactly an original design but perhaps they weren't go in for a originality.

It creates somewhat of a Mandela effect, it's so generic that I couldn't 100% guarantee that they didn't already look like that.

Given that renationalisation is a bit of a hot button topic for the right wing, they probably didn't want to rock the boat too much. This doesn't particularly draw attention to itself.

Boring isn't necessarily bad, in fact I would argue that my preference for bringing back Rail Blue would be even more boring. I think it's best if people can come to associate their feelings of the railways with the livery rather than the other way round, so I'm favouring something simple and timeless.
