Seems to be almost a European standard. DB, SNCF and SBB (OK, not EU,
I know) use that format. I think it looks quite nice, personally.

Next stop, a National Rail livery?

Leaf Green Or Poppy Red

I'd have gone for something based on the original 350/1 livery crossed
with the way DB did things in the 90s, so red for IC, blue for IR,
green for NSE/local on a silver base, or alternatively base it
slightly on the VT livery, so the base being silver with charcoal
window surrounds but with red, blue or green doors as appropriate.

The old National Rail site used to be in Rheingold colours, so maybe
that would do, but I guess we've moved away from that now

Yes please!

Not just one livery. One for InterCity, one for Network SouthEast,
one for Regional Railways and one for JockRail.

See my other post - but I'm not sure why NSE really needs its own -
surely it is just (to some extent) a mix of regional, interregional
and "InterCity" services? Particularly now something formed out of a
former NSE operator (LM) gets all the way to Crewe.

Perhaps you're taking this just a little too seriously.
