It's funny-- 10 or 20 years ago, that factory scheme would have looked dated, but today, to my eyes anyway, it looks completely up to date.
I'm much less of a fan of the 840 factory paint scheme, though. And certainly not of the various browns (or "Bavarian Creme"), especially in place of the white. But a nice crisp white with blue and gray accent stripes in the factory scheme could look really good.
