I must be missing something because I dont see the "beautiful" or "sexy" in this night pic. It looks like its all-white with the exception of the tail. But the 77W is beautiful period. I hope the plane looks different in the daylight.

Fill me in, what is first about this particular aircraft among North American carriers?
What color is that paint? on the fuselage? At night the paint appears white, but in the day it has sort of a faint mint green color. Unusual. what's that about?

There has been controversy over the new AC colour on A.net for the longest time. Origionally it was a heavier shade of blue which AC determined to be quite dreadful (And it Was), and faded the colour to this "minty-blue". Also when you see AC aircraft that DO lokk white in the DAY, that's the transitional livery between their old livery and the new one you see on this bird. As for why the blue looks white at night, It's a mystery! The Tail section of AC's paint scheme also looks BRILLIANT when lit up at night!

Thanks Carson! I am sure it will be a sight pulling up to the gate.
And I gather that this is the first time a 777-300 has been ordered by a North American Carrier? Now that is interesting.
