Purple

Years ago I worked for FedEx, back when they had the a/c painted purple and white.

A study was conducted re wieght of the purple paint and cost of hauling it around and I seem to remember a figure of around $1k per Atlantic crossing. And with the number of a/c they have it adds up very fast.

End result white with purple tails only now.

Hope that helps.
