I recall that the original livery you described was officially called
'Marigold'. Apparently, it wasn't a very nice color when soot layers from
atmospheric smog were deposited on the paintwork - so they changed the
color slightly, and then finally decided to use the standard Met green &
gold.

Does anybody know when the Z's were changed to green & gold, and what the
second yellowish livery was called?
