I prefer the originally white color of the planes too. I am not a fan of the new blue color on AC aircraft either, but it is not as revolting as the aeroplan tangerine

All I can say is that is is fortunate that AE/AC marketing showed restraint this year and had a small aeroplan logo on the elite cards/tags rather than the overwhelming tangerine strip they had last year . I refused to use the card and the luggage tag last year and it only effected me in the FRA lounge once for entry but I was too tight to do more than drink some juice so no big loss from boycotting the cards. MLL was good enough to let me in with only my boarding passes.
