There wasn't a blue colour scheme. G-AXLN which was leased for a short time-carried a hybrid bluey colour as it had previously been with British Midland-which had a predominantly blue scheme.
The standard
colours were Green/Pink/Yellow and Lilac.
Unless you were colour blind-the Green (turquoise?)-could never be seen or considered as a blue colour?
