Boeing flight deck colors?
Flew the 727 with the grey cockpit, that was fine, the MD80 with green, that was awful, then the 757/67 with the brown, I liked that the most by far, Boeing knew what they were doing

That very question was posed to one of the Senior Boeing test pilots when they have a presentation in Dubai a good few years ago. The answer: "Earth tones were in vogue"! Also, something to do with brown being a family easy colour on the eye.

what i don't understand are the variances in colour amongst T7 cockpits - eg with EK, some are the disgusting beige whilst others are a darker brown, and Cathay have an almost grey T7 cockpit on some models but brown on others. Is it to do with what variant it is (say 77L, 77W etc) or the age of the plane or airline preference or what???????
