The rumours are indeed correct and whilst not unexpected, i feel are completely unnecessary. Even with the more recent less colourful 'close to you' branding update being used online and as part of passenger print material, the livery still stands out amongst the crowd. It also enabled Flybe to make use of the colours again in the future. It was only 4 years ago when this current purple livery was rolled out and it still hasn't managed to become uniform across the whole fleet by any means. I don't expect this revised one to roll out much quicker, even if it is just the removal of the vivid colour bands.
The only reason for the update i can presume, is that the more simplified purple / lilac tone livery and 'close to you' branding saves money on paint and and other printing material ?
