You're right about the colour scheme. A thing of great beauty. I remember going West through the Pacific, following Vulcans to Singapore/Butterworth. We picked up a couple of US Air Force guys in Guam (or maybe Wake) on an R&R scrounge flight. They just wouldn't believe that the beautiful 10 was a 'troop ship', real seats and all, and not a 4 Star's VIP ship. In-flight catering even! Very sad to see their end.
