US President's aircraft to be repainted in new palette

US President's planes to be repainted in Trump's favourite colours

The US President's planes are to be repainted in colours that match the White House's favourite palette Donald TrumpNavy blue, deep red and gold. This was reported by CBS News.

This means changing the appearance of the presidential boards, which traditionally have a light blue and white scheme introduced in the mid-twentieth century. The new design should emphasise the individual style of the current administration.

What we know about the style change

According to journalists, the colour scheme upgrade is seen as part of a wider programme to modernise the presidential fleet. At the same time, detailed technical parameters and implementation timeframes have not yet been disclosed.

Experts note that the change in the livery of the presidential aircraft is mainly symbolic, but could become one of the most visible visual changes of the administration.

Context.

The traditional look of the US presidential aircraft was formed during the administration of John F. Kennedy and has hardly changed since then.
Proposals for a new design have been discussed before, but final decisions depend on political leadership and budgetary procedures.
