Orange was so 70s 80s we have moved on look at Stagecoach.

When franchising was introduced in London for a few years operators were able to paint their vehicles in any livery they liked. Over time though, TfL began to specify predominately (80%) London red and now it's 100% red.

Personally I thought that the final PTE liveries were much more attractive than what the major groups currently offer and I'm not sure the new Stagecoach liveries are an argument for "moving on", imho.
IF franchising does proceed I strongly suspect that TfGM will specify a standard livery based on a variation of that of GMPTE.
