    I recall that Blue paint al a house painting gloss was real good a fading those days, Maybe they started out life a nice deep navy blue and faded over a couple of years to the plethora of blue colours we have seen. As for the red ones in Scotland? Rust?

      Little info on our favourite blue box

      The undisguised appearance of a Type 40 TARDIS' exterior is a silver-grey cylinder only slightly larger than a police box.

      The Doctor attempts to repair the circuit in Logopolis and Attack of the Cybermen, but the successful transformation of the TARDIS into the shapes of a pipe organ, a painted Welsh dresser (much to the amusement of Perpurgilliam "Peri" Brown and the Sixth Doctor's annoyance) and an elaborate gateway in the latter serial was followed by a return to the police box shape.

      Other TARDISes have appeared in the television series. The first was that of the Meddling Monk, another Time Lord, in the 1965 serial The Time Meddler. The Master had at least two TARDISes of his own,[49] each a more advanced model than the Doctor's. The chameleon circuits on these were fully functional, and his TARDISes have been seen in various forms, including a fully functional spacecraft, a Concorde aircraft, a grandfather clock, a computer, a fireplace, a Doric pillar,[50] a lorry, a statue (able to move and walk around), a laurel tree, and an iron maiden.

      Also note that the chameleon circuit isn't actually broke but as River Song says, the Dr is just too stuck in his ways

          Birmingham may be England's second city but as the song Mother Glasgow goes Glasgow is the second city of the Empire. And blue is my favourite colour too!
