I agree, they look more accurate

When actual colors are used on a small model like the 727 or even a 747, they tend to look too dark, but if the colors were lighten to scale effect then they would look to light.

What gets me is my GJ 1/400 727-200 looks spot on, but the L1011 & chrome DC-10 are greenish. Im no expert in this field but i did however have a side business in die-sublimation ink transfer and know how to adjust colors, but i was curious what any owners of this said model think of it?
Let me correct my statement, the L1011 blue looks too dull even more to the grey side.
